Magnolia, From Bud to Bloom

All photos are mine.

Magnolia Blossoms

Magnolia Blossoms

Magnolia blossoms

have been wrapped in fur coats,

since setting last fall.

Now their fuzzy hoods open

and buds peek out…pink.

Though they hold on tight,

still frost takes a few.

You wonder, my

magnolia blossoms…

will they come this year?

You wonder and wait.

Then, one warm spring day,

they are here, and

their "Yes"…their "YES"…

 is

extravagant;

magnolia blossoms,

open and  

blushing.

Their colours tremble

inside you, echoing;

echoing in a place

so silent and deep,

you forgot

it was there.
