Flourishing everywhere:
Bushes and and burrows,
Valleys and sidewalks,
Or the littlest spaces--
The cracks in between.

Admired by a child--
or hated by adults.
Picked or plucked.
On lonely nights
Our roots grow deep.

Coiling inward
For dozens of times.
Then, in a night,
Drastically changing!
Monochrome Settles in,

the death of my colors;
The birth of light hopelings

Through night, through daylight
The wind blows away
Our fuzzy hopelings;
The wish of a child

That silent hope that
Despite ourselves,
We can carry it.
And despite ourselves
We set sail,

Flourishing everywhere
