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.
