Azalea Blossom on a Winter Day

Light lavender azalea, blooming in the rain.
Your center, fiery orange, like the sun,
bringing a hint, a promise, of golden sunshine.
Your solitude is startling in the rain.

Your delicate petals of gorgeous color,
reminds us that spring is a promise.
Soon the earth will bloom again,
and all the delicate flowers will be renewed again.

Oh delicate azalea blossom!
Bloom! All winter, I beg of you!
So that no matter how bleak,
peering into your depths, a hint of desire.
Spring will soon reprise.
