Glory in a Flower

In petal's hue, a silent story,
Brief, yet deep as any lore.
Glimmering morning's dewy glory,
Life's essence it does store.

A blossom's breath, so gently fleeting,
In shades of joy and sorrow meeting.
A cycle, spun from earth's own core,
In every bloom, the world's amore.

Each leaf and stem, a fortress bearing,
Against the wind's relentless tearing.
In sun and shadow, it does soar,
A simple grace, we can't ignore.

From soil to sky, its beauty towers,
A testament to unseen powers.
In nature’s hand, a precious ore,
Glory found in a flower’s door.
