Queen of the Night
You become and bud in the suns daily light
Only gracing us with your bloom in the darkness of night
Your petals open to the moons silky glow
Your aromatic beauty only few can know
The moment you bloom glorious and complete
Is sadly the beginning of your life’s last feat
You become a memory with dawns early light
A nocturnal queen dancing on moonbeams to our delight
