Eternal Blossom

Tender seedling emerges through frost-hardened earth,

small sprout whose delicate leaves unfurl,

encouraged by willful, attentive sunbeams

and roborant, meandrous snowmelt streams.

Then, bolstered by nature's eternal tough love,

'mid storms and droughts, and plenty thereof,

supported by delicate suckling roots,

a daisy buds atop one shoot.

The stretching days leisurely court shy sepals,

thus unveiling ivory petals~

velvety slips encircling orbed yellow,

a commix of brilliant and mellow.

Resplendent blossom, fragrant and open wide,

standing tall awaiting summertime,

there's nothing to fear, so exhale your bound breath

such graceful pith will always abet.
