The morning dew,
rested on my cheeks.
I wasn't crying, it was one of those things.
My petals were barely open.
and they wanted to wither away.
My roots had been uprooted,
weakly laying on top soil.
I was a moment away from giving up,
when you came.
You brought the rain.
Your brought the sun.
You nestle me,
secure my hopes.
I was so happy at last.
But with your love,
you also brought a cyclone.

the good and the bad that love brings. . . do we take both, or just hold out for one?

love the questions in this one walker. . .

Oh, Oh. Maybe the little flower survived. Just because she was so small. Joyce
