For the Inverse challenge

When the petals open, and roses bloom

And they sing soft secrets to you,

Speaking quietly, soundless words,

Freedom is what all lost souls lean towards,

Petals bloom in unison, as one,

Time is something no one can outrun,

As it blossoms from a seed to a flower,

Elegance is it's greatest superpower,

Though time passes and they get older,

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
