Is there another flower more
accessible to the essence of Spring
than a tulip? Not just one, but a
simple bunch.
Buds at first, potential and yet
unknown magnificence still a
mystery held tightly within. Surely,
with time and sunshine, we will
see all they can be.
By no means aimless anticipation,
purposeful hope will arrive. Wait.
Singularly, a tulip harbors affirmation
revealed in short order.
Yes, other spring flowers – daffodils
or lilies – make an impression, but
you will not get the expression of
this season as you do when a tulip
is involved.
Tulips evolve into all we believe.
Wait. You will see.
