Inspiration.
A daily source of wonder to me
Finally feeling the warmth of the sun
The comfort, the joy.
Like a flower, so long starved of water and sunlight
So do I, too, rejoice when it comes
Soaking up every precious droplet,
Blossoming under the nurturing care
So long needed.
Desperately I reach for the sun,
Aspiring to lofty new heights that I may
More fully bask in the rays of light
I crave so desperately.
I strain and grow,
Striving to be closer to the light
Reaching, longing to touch it,
Be touched by it, embrace it.
Warmed by the light of the sun,
Alive, safe, as happy as a flower can be
I nod my heavy head at a passing butterfly,
Overcome with benevolence towards the world.
Suddenly I know, in my little flower heart,
That I can face any rain, wind, or storm
Always knowing that the sunlight will come out again
And that someday I will touch it and
Make it mine.
