Monocarpic longing

The Agave cries out a beautiful humble thirsty stalk alone in the desert
Waits for attention for nurture but turns them away with spikey leaves and survival
It still longs for nourishment as it grows slowly ever more independent and strong  
Until one day, a century later, it realizes what it has to offer and the thorny thriving rosette dies as it shouts out a flower.
