Intricate Flower

The blossoms seem to surface
when out of the weary cold
they spring to bountiful life
ever the fragrance so bold.
Gathered round the stalk so true
the petal forms a flower
to stand among the crowd
to watch each passing hour.
The intricate life of the blade
the receptacle is a home.
for growth through each bud,
the soil soft silken loam.
My life is like the bloom
that slowly unfolds to be.
I rise and stretch each morn
release the soul of me.
