Open

open

let go

like the rose bursts
open
to the sun,
in rapture

exposed
in delicate splendour

exquisite
in surrender

to bloom requires courage
fear is a seedless bud

full blooms
take flight on petals
and scatter seeds
on the wind
to become stars

open
like the rose

to discover
your own timeless flight
