Unfolding+Bud


 * Unfolding Bud**

One is amazed By a water-lily bud Unfolding with each passing day, Taking on a richer color And new dimensions

One is not amazed, At first glance, By a poem, Which is as tight closed As a tiny bud.

Yet one is surprised To see the poem Gradually unfolding, Revealing its rich inner self As one reads it Again And over again.
