Petals floating by, Drift through my woman's hand, As she remembers me. David Brin
The same law that shapes the earth-star shapes the snow-star. As surely as the petals of a flower are fixed, each of these countless snow-stars comes whirling to earth...these glorious spangles, the sweeping of heaven's floor. Henry David Thoreau
Today my winged horse is coming and I am carrying you off to the moon and on the moon we will eat rose petals. Shirley Jackson
You cannot show people only the petals and not the thorns. It's not fair to them. Bethenny Frankel
If you have patience, then you'll also have love. Patience leads to love. If you forcefully open the petals of a bud, you won't be able to enjoy its beauty and fragrance. Only when it blossoms by following its natural course, will the beauty and fragrance of a flower unfold. Mata Amritanandamayi
Kiss me as if you made believe You were not sure, this eve, How my face, your flower, had pursed It's petals up. Robert Browning
