Waiting for the Flower to Bloom Inside

Waiting for the Flower to Bloom Inside

This is what I wanted,
And that’s what I got.

This is where I wanted to be,
And that’s where I am.

Mountain, rainbows, streams, sunsets,
Now, what is missing?
Why am I still not feeling blissful?

It’s true, it’s only true
That the rain outside will smell sweeter
only when the flower inside has bloomed,
And nature will be greener
only when the flora inside has bloomed.
