THE BLOOM AWAITS

The Bloom Awaits.

Passing by the flower shop again, I looked around almost out of habit.

Among the blooms, my eyes always found the sweet pea.

I stepped closer, almost without thinking.

From a distance, it held my attention, and then I left, as always.

I stepped inside to see a very little beauty I thought I wanted.

But the sweet peas already had other admirers, gathering around as if to show off.

Even the seeds, which seemed harmless, carried a warning from the vendor.

I let it be, stepping back as if flowers were never meant for me.

Later, returning home, I stumble upon lilies, unannounced.

I smile. I have only ever wanted this.

How can I forget?

Lilies are my favorite anyway.
