Evening mist surrounds
solemn red blossoms stand proud
against summers moon.
Protruding greens sit and wait
for one to bloom into pink.
Waiting for a chance
this season shall bring new rain
changing as they grow.
When that change finally comes
everything is beautiful.
Waiting for a chance
bloom brighter than ever perceived
a love for the new.
Silent nights and silent days
but they are not lonesome, nay.
Hoping for a sign
waiting for the signal, peace
never comes; unfound.
But the solemn pink blossoms
forever remain the same.
