“First Bloom — The Becoming”
And then
—the bloom.
Colour where there was none,
fragrance rising,
air bristling with promise.
They walk among blossoms,
hands brushing petals,
hands brushing each other,
and know:
love is not only beginning,
beyond revelation,
overtaking trial,
but this
—flowering,
this fullness,
a season that says:
we have arrived.
