Birthed into melted sunshine,
earth basking in warmth.
Light filters my colour as
I peek above the unravelled soil.
Cirrus petals, twisting, turning,
opening to the music of the light.
Blossom bursting with beauty.
My stem giving me a presence.
Slender leaves grow, taking their place.
Unique and perfect.
Celebrating new life as I
join the gathering of Spring.
