Fulcrum of a Rose

They say the scent begins in bloom,
But I have felt it in the fold–
where petals hide, and shadows loom, 
not where the colour are bold. 

It lives between the bloom and  bruise,
a hush the sunlight doesn't see. 
It stays with those who never choose,
to shine, but still learn how to be.  

I found it's centre, soft and small–
and there, I heard my own soul call.
