# The Unopened Flower Bud as Metaphor for Limitless Potential Every spring the unopened flower buds parade as if juvenile soldiers standing ready to enter the shoes of mature flowers. They also scream the limitless potential. For they are not yet flowers, but they are, in a sense, flowers; or they are potential-flowers, or flowers-to-come. I wrote an ode to these flowers, or flowers-to-come, a poem that I recited to the flowers. They are at once carrying the world, but also the vulnerability of the world. I invite you to read this poem with the flowers as a backdrop, or the poem as a backdrop for the flowers. I walk in the garden every morning with a cup of coffee to see how these flowers are, almost as of they are family. I talk to them and touch them to see if they are doing well. Few people understand the work it takes to keep them happy. I present to you some photographs of the unopened flower bud. All the photographs are taken by me and my trusty Nikon D300 camera, either with a Tamron zoom-macro lens or the Nikkor 50mm f1.8 lens.  # An Ode to the Unopened Flower Bud Limitless potential you carry As if in the cusp of your hands Holding for the world a show That has not yet begun   Limitless potential you carry Luring in the bees the ants the spiders For all to see A show that has yet to start   The bud an unopened flower Dancing in the wind Your vulnerability another silent show You whish no one would see   For if you bend too early No one would see The beauty you might have been And the limitless potential ceases   Limitless potential you carry As if in the cusp of your hands You hold the unborn children Of tomorrow safely nestled still only an idea   Limitless potential you carry Luring the eyes of those who know where to look For your beauty has yet to come And for now, only showcases what might be   What might be is still not yet But from the previous years We anticipate your petals and seeds That will colour the garden with rainbow treats   For now, we wait In anticipatory angst Because for now, anything can happen That might hinder your growth   But alas, a story told for thousands of years Your beauty inspiring the poets long dead But the words remain true Written about your flowers that will come year after year
