💧A Poem About Tuberose Drops—“A Drop of Night Fragrance, Toward the Morning”

by Aqua

There is a flower
that leaves behind
just a single drop
of the night’s fragrance
and gently melts
into the morning light.

Swaying in the sweet breeze,
the droplet dances lightly,
shining upon the petal
as if to say, “Good morning.”

The early summer air
is still a little sleepy,
yet it is already
preparing to welcome
a new day.

Tuberose,
your fragrance is
a thread of light
that binds together
the lingering traces of the night
and the hope of the morning.
