Petals in the astronomical day
Pretty petals are so soft, like velvet,
smooth to the touch.
Brightly coloured in a spectrum of colours,
like an artist palette,
bursting full of colours,
waiting to be painted.
Petals shine so beautifully,
In the glistening sunlight,
In the astronomical day.
The petals stop shining,
when dull shadowy light of dusk appears.
But the pretty petals,
are still so delicate to the touch.
They will shine again,
In the morning sunrise,
Which starts the astronomical day again.
