Unfurling flowers !

Curious eyes sneak through the darkness

and watch anxiously “the unfurling flowers”

Slowly the petals unfurl one by one

letting out the fragrance

announcing the “blooming hour”

How it would be if I could hear

the sound of an unfurling petal !

My ears are dumb to this heavenly tune!

Hurrying ants stop for a while

puzzled by the sound the flowers make !

Morning sun rays wake up the bees

and help them flap the wings with ease.

Buzzing, the bees lift the pollen

to the bower of the farthest flower !

If I happen to be born again -

I wish I am born as a flower 

I will unfurl my petals with a music 

and let the world know “I am in full bloom”
