Blooming Cerise

 

Hidden deep, protected from winter’s storm 
Nurtured within the soil, rich dark and warm 
Preparing for this, thy season of birth 
From bulb to flower, I gracefully form


Darkness to light, I emerge through the earth
Tiny green shoots start to enhance my worth
Gentle skies greet me, gone has winter’s gloom
Springtime, my season, full of life and mirth


Solitary cerise amidst pale bloom
The soft breeze that carries scented perfume
Swaying, with flushed petals, I dance, perform  
Photographer cameras, on me they zoom
