Enjoy reading. 5/26 /99 Plant Before Blooming by Blue9Tiger Tails is a plant before blooming. Unnoticed as its seeds take root, Reaching deep into the soil. Unnoticed as its stem perks up, Reaching towards the glowing ball of fire. Unnoticed as its leaves branch off, Spreading towards the east and west, North and south, As far as they can touch. Unnoticed as its stem grows farther to the glowing fire, Unleashing its amazing qualities over few Who notice it before it's fully in bloom. Unnoticed as its flower finally peeks, Spreading when the fire embraces it. Unnoticed when the flower spreads more, But finally noticed when the flower is full, When it is bright and strong And it can grow no more. Now it awes everyone, And no one's eye fails to see, The beauty of the plant, That once was a mere seed in the soil. Oh, how Tails wishes to be a plant fully bloomed. e-mail: Blue9Tiger@aol.com
