Sweet Secrets Within...

Their birth a thing past,
their childhood waning...
Spring's babies, infants no more.

First blush surrenders
to adulthood's bloom,
swaying to solsticed rhythms.

Resplendent, adorned
in glorious raiments...
hiding sweet secrets within.

Spring's quickstep becomes
Summer's sultry waltz,
bees keeping time to the tune.

Aroused by the touch
of the sun's hot breath,
Mother Earth's breast languishes;

those at it suckling
hear her soft whisper...
a promise anew conceived.

Unfurling stamens
seed every breeze;
gestating pleasures await.

Their time soon coming...
ripened legacy.
The cycle of life complete.
