wildflowers have now bloomed near

Wishing for the Shadowy side/
through the open window. Yes/
The curtain and the light breeze/
It’s time to /
Dry the rose petals/
a year like any other. /
The weight of things
late blooming*

I will not disturb the water
I will let the time pass
and make its own story
or follow the wind
I'll let myself go in
the rhythm of things
the coming and going
of the world
