The tiny white bud
on a verdant stalk unfolds.
A routine phenomenon
impresses a splendor.
The petals unfurl
one by one
in a slow motion
represent a sophistication.
The flower blooms
acquires an exquisite form
symbolic of glory
an untold fascination.
I watch with awe
keep near to the plants
check them unfold
exhilaration permeates.
It is exuberance
to see a girl come of age.
The sprightly little one
matures. An evolution.
Daring and mischievous
she becomes responsible.
A switch over.
Smooth transition.
The uncouth growth
changes graceful. Cheeks
glow. The coy smile
transcends.
Nimble-footed and delicate
the adolescent looks angelic.
Amazing. Metamorphical!
I stand spellbound
