Finish - meaning Summary
Missed Timeliness and Regret
The poem uses a single, crisp image—unbloomed roses—to explore missed timing, squandered potential, and the quiet consequence of inaction. The speaker likens people to flowers that failed to open when opportunity or readiness arrived, leaving the life-giving sun impatient or indifferent. The tone is resigned and regretful, suggesting a sense of wasted possibility and the small, irreversible losses that follow delayed or avoided choices.
