The language is poetic, full of metaphors, or at least a metaphor. The structure as something more akin to prose threw me off a bit in understanding it. It is highly inspirational I might also add experience as a category, the more valid categories the more likely it is for a piece to win a quill. This doesn't really apply since this is several years old but it is something to keep in mind in future. The thoughts behind this are really quill worthy to me even though it isn't in an easily judged format. One suggestion the repettions of blossoming flower are a bit much, perhaps another way to say the same thing could be use in it's place? It is like using a character's name repeatedly when pronouns could work as well.
