I sat and I watched as a flower gently unfolded br I sat and I watched as it blossomed with gold br reaching out from its centre its beauty was told. br br Ever so slowly it stretched out to the sun br basking in light and drinking the rain that came down br from the earth it emerged as it grew and it sprouted br revealing all that its invisible seed had endowed it. br br I sat and I watched as it wilted and faded br I sat and I watched as it slowly grew old br returning back to its centre its end was foretold. br Ever so slowly it reached for the earth br with no resistance to falling to the place of its birth. br br It had spoken its message, fulfilled its aim br in announcing that fragrance that its seed had contained; br and now it rests gently on the the warmth of the ground br so totally surrendered to that end that it found. br br I sat and I watched as all this unfolded br I sat and I watched as it blossomed and faded br the essence of fragrance, the centre of all br my love was made manifest by the unfolding of all.
