To magnolia flowers

 

Having felt the warmth of my mother in my childhood,
Carefully I got closer to magnolia flowers
And faced them.
A slight aroma attracted me,
And I yearned for my past mother.

I embraced a hope for an unknown future.
Expecting the beginning of living an authentic human life,
I chased the aroma of spring
Towards a glorious future.

A magnolia flower is still covered in buds.
As I gently put my face closer to it
I feel its vigor fully to bloom quite soon.
Then we shall meet again with great joy.
We are ready for the arrival of the time.

In spring, new buds are born.
All of them shall bloom sooner or later
And encounter each other.
The time to make another fruit.
A slight aroma is telling me about this.
And a wind is carrying its message.
