The Late Blossom

Rachel Anne Mahler

A dull green bud
Waits for the sun
Waits for the one
The one who will color her petals

She sits in darkness
Closed to the life
Closed to the strife
The strife that meddles

When she opens up
Her beauty shows
Her beauty knows
Her beauty finally settles

This radiant rose
The last to bloom
The last sweet perfume
The last to drop her petals
