Bursting flower

Well, one simple image and symbol, a bursting flower in the night. If that is no clear enough, :-) here it is Thomas McDonagh:

O bursting bud of joy
I pluck thee in thy flower!
Fast I plant thee in my breast
To bloom and bloom for ever.

I lived without thee long,
Lonesome my life without thee.
Lightly blossom in my breast,
O flower mine, for ever!

Thomas McDonagh, "O Bursting Bud Of Joy".
