The flowers shout, “Bloom!” and we inside begin

To blossom although others cannot see

This.  Deep within us opens up a twin

Pink peony of providence.  A tree

Supplies a crown of leaves for wind or breeze

To frolic in and suddenly we dance

Combined.  So we become a copse of trees,

Become a ballet troupe with arms askance

As if they hope to capture April dreams,

Antennae set to focus on the stars,

Or scientific instruments for beams

Revealing Big Bang aftermaths like scars

That look like gauze of galaxies which wait

For mystics searching for a kindly fate.
