Rice Paper Blossoms – v12

Dying crocuses
the water leaving
becoming like wax paper
in our backyard,
glorious in their fading,
becoming translucent, transparent,
in the mid-day sun.

Like rice paper blossoms
slowly dying, glorious,
becoming like parchment, wax paper;
a film, becoming transparent,
as if made of thin phyllo dough.
Dying ever so gracefully,
at the foot of your cross.
