Her petals shine with the early dew.
Buds have presented their gifts in the nighttime--
Mother Nature opening the closed green parcels
When no one was there to peek.
I step down the stairs, burying my head in the plant,
Smelling the fragrant white petals,
Being careful not to touch the delicate petals
For fear they will turn caramel-colored.
Gardenias in day,
Gardenias in night,
Gardenias are soft,
Gardenias are white.
By ME
