The Blooming Flowers of 33

I walked too fast, 
Looked far ahead,
Saw the horizon go golden,
Rushed my feet,
quickened my pace,
Ran towards the dusk.
...but I missed you, didn't I?
I missed how beautiful you look in the evening sun,
I missed watching your gentle saw to the wind,
I missed how breathtaking you look at dawn,
That fresh scent you fill the air,
Your petals, brighter than the sun,
I missed seeing you alive.
But I came back, see?
I came back to stay the night,
I will break dawn with you,
I will embrace the dark of midnight with you,
I will watch it all recede for the morning light,
I will lazy in the afternoon sun with you,
I will ride the wind with you.
Here I am once again,
This time, your beauty is coloring my irises.
