There's much one can re-learn,
even if there's roots rigged
with the opposite
in the depths of their brains soil
•
Self- love is included
But first,
you must teach a phlox
from the Winter
how to flourish in the Spring
•
Pelted petals can be revived,
daunting a task it is
•
First, find a new garden,
but don't leave your vase beforehand
•
Second,
surround yourself with others
who know you've wilted
but aren't afraid to help you bloom
•
Third,
recognize that there will be bugs,
but they don't have the power
to hole punch your heart
or to sabotage your stem
•
Fourth,
nourish others
as you nourish yourself
although sometimes hard to reach,
the water will always run
•
Fifth and foremost,
recognize that even the dahlias
don't bloom in the snow
and your golden rays are coming
so darling,
please,
let yourself sway
and let yourself glow.
