The Process
By Aneesha B
A small knot in the soil,
a bulb
time passes
roots grow
one baby leaf evolves,
learning
growing
like a small child
nursed in a nourishing soil,
thriving
soon a stem forms and buds emerge
bursting into flowers as bright as sunshine,
cherry reds
salmon pinks...
Petals fall, leaves wither, reversing the process.
Repeat.
