Standing tall
In all her glory,
Bearing her core
Revealing her story.
Once a bud
Now in maturity,
Rich in elegance
Yet humbled by mortality.
From inner core
To edge of petals,
Spectrum of hues
Strength in depth.
Spring’s chilly dawns
Or sudden April showers,
All weathered through
With promise of sun’s sheltering.
Let her life story
Yield comfort and challenge,
For as she cycles through
So shall you…
rhythmandthedancer 
For as she cycles through
So shall you……. Beautifully expressed
