Tiny Petals

Tiny petals peeping through the earth

Slowly opening up to the sun

Stretching out for all to see

Showing off to everyone

It`s perfume scent so delicate

Caught in the summer breeze

Wafting there so gently

Nestling under the trees

As the night time begins to take a hold

There`s a chill in the air

As it`s petals start to close 

A stillness is every where

I love sitting out in my garden and have noticed the flowers budding, blooming and then closing for the night. It`s as if they are going to bed !
