Tulips

Sometimes I wish I could lean teetering,

Out of a window,

Pressing against crimson tulips,

Someone planted in the wooden box last winter.

My gold hair whips to and fro,

as if trying to get free and fly away,

to an unrealistic world.

Feeling the wind take my secrets

and sweep them away,

Letting the sky hear my dreams

and whisper them

to a bustling crowd of lightning bugs below.

Watching the silver rain run down my face,

drenching the tulips,

and with each drop that lands,

I allow a worry to slip away.
