Watching out into the garden
saw a tiny bus on a plant.
it looked so small and cute
a wee little and minute.
As everything grows
this little one opened out
and looked a little big
and strong not frail.
The opening could be seen
after careful inspection
The bud seemed to be in a dilemma
as to smile or not to smile.
leaving the bud to itself
fearing constant care could spoil
went about with my work
returning to find it has blossomed.
The bud has become a flower
spreading fragrance all over
with an astonishing beauty
arresting every one who passed by.
It is not anything wonderful
you might say
but for me it holds
a divine illumination.
The course of its growth
and the way it bloomed
deliver a bout of enlightenment
transcendental
and one of contentment.
