Why do they have to close at night
Is it only the light that holds them open
Have they no will of their own
When darkness invades them
But as it's coming on I watch
Is it for a deeper dreaming
The petals fold into themselves
Almost imperceptibly
Into small white buds
I never really witnessed it before
Like watching a child fall asleep
Sailing out into the darkness
Taken back over the abyss
As all of us must go alone
Is it their willingness to go
I admire or the trust they place
In everything around them
