Unfolding

“Unfolding”

Unpetalling a heart takes patience,
to watch the color deepen
first its purity and plainness
must be painted with Time’s gentle hues.

To make the soul smile takes
days of wondering and watching;
the surrendered trust works gently
on the echoes of heart melodies.

Vivacious friendship sometimes takes
the uncertainty of unanswered questions
and the sacrifice of soon
for being made beautiful in time.
