White Wings

The green stem had a small bud
At the tip
Slowly, it flourished
It opened
And white wings saw the light
Stretching until finally
Five wings reached out
Rising to touch the sky
It soaked in the light
The air
The water
It grew
It birthed seeds of its own
Suddenly, it snapped
Floated gently down
Where it lay to rest.
