Finished

"It is finished." ~John 19:30
The blossom bursts
the bud,
and it seems to be
finished,
the end of time.
But the perfect flower
with all its fragrance
was always here,
at every moment,
in every drop
of unseen sap
that permeated leaf,
petal, stem, root,
and the dark tenderness
curled in the hollow
of the seed.
