Pink petals delicately encompassed
Around a center supporting stem.
Blooming is inevitable.
Will you be willing?
Opening within my hands and between my trusted fingers?
Or shyly, sheepishly, and anxiously
in an unknown land of tears and destruction?

The author's comments:
This inspired me by the cover of a book of Emily Dickenson's poetry. Also, my poems are usually only numbered. Sorry if you were expecting a fancy title.
