OPENING DAY - edit for contest

The anxious crowd
Gathers
Slowly anticipating
The grand opening

A bud trembles
Dew drops shiver
A late sun
Unlocks the stage door

A gentle hum builds
Slowly
Petal fingers open
To unheard applause

A chatter of sparrows
A distant hoot
The muffled cooing
Of doves

Stage right
Crimson capes
Opening
To nature’s suitors
