Watching a Petal Unfurl

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.
Carl Sagan

I have been waiting

Unconsciously holding my breath

Waiting for the rain to come

Waiting for night to fall

Waiting for the dawn

Waiting for the world

To catch up with me

I have seen miracles in every petal

Rainbows in every sky

But now I am waiting

Waiting for magical realism

To feel magical again
