Ever so extravagant in the night

the stainless white petals beaming

the moonbeams raining down as its spotlight

every creature can see it gleaming

it only blooms once a year

finally in the spotlight for once, in the dark

then it will slowly wilt and disappear

and it won’t repeat from the start

it is just like a typical human

waiting for its time of bloom, to shine

but dreams cannot be abandoned

oneself has to be inclined

this is reality; this is how life takes flight

this flower is the breathtaking Queen of the Night
