Jars of Stars

Blooming All At Once

I remember the way summer danced on my tongue

Skipping from taste bud to taste bud

Weaving in between my teeth

As I waded in the heat

Let the lavender breeze curl around me

Play with my hair, turn it to a lion's mane

Pain is dormant in the cores of my bones

Not making a stir at all

Allowing me to be a puzzle piece

In one of Van Gogh's works

When the sun watches above,

I can let everything trapped in my mind

Burst out of me

I am a garden blooming all at once

Letting my petals leave through each breath I take

And when winter comes

To turn the sun into a glowing match

I feel the pain wake from hibernation

Blossoming the same way I did

But with dissonance instead of symphony.
