Silent Bloom

i walked among the quiet stems
where sunlight touched earth's hidden gems
and found a bloom so still so shy
beneath the vast unchanging sky

it spoke no word's yet told me all
of how the winds through branches call
and how the morning's glow
is all the world should ever know

i asked it then why do you stay
in shadows soft and light's delay
but silence echoed in the air
a secret hidden everywhere

the world it moves relentless and fast
yet blooms like this are built to last
they hold the quiet of the past
and in their stillness they are vast

so i left without a sound
the petals curling to the ground
but in my heart that bloom remains
a peace unspoken free from pains
