I think this haiku means that some people take longer to develop than others, or maybe it takes longer for them to get something or do something.

In other words, the writer is using the enigma of the short poetry form. Having us believe one thing, just to, in the next phase force us understand the true meaning...after contemplating what he really says.
Just like life.
