The soft green buds of knowledge
peep up through the dirt -
Soft contrast of potential
at first sight of the light.
The petals of understanding
slowly start to unfurl -
Delicate blue maturity
revealed by the dawning sun.
The open flower spreads
ambrosia on the wind -
Calling all to come and feed
on great truth understood.
And when its use is passed away
as 'round the cycle ends -
The petals fall into the dust
and scatter on the wind.
