I am awkward in shyness; a lily in partial bloom and wonder if the warm breath of dawn will comfort past dusk I hear my vulnerabilities beg for release when the sun sets on them while I see my future happiness wilting I want for loving nurturing but will accept a morning's promise I am awkward in shyness; a lily in partial bloom I pretend I deserve to grow vibrant but feel the sting of the wasp marring my tender skin I touch a soul in fragrant yearn and worry the scolding wind will break me I cry at its admonishment I am awkward in shyness; a lily in partial bloom I understand I must stand guarded and say I will not stretch beyond the garden but I dream because not dreaming is unbearable I am trying to survive beyond my season hoping to be more than withered cravings I am awkward in shyness; a lily in partial bloom I bought my share of mistakes so I might see some interest. |

"I am trying to survive beyond my season"---but it is a struggle that will result in your becoming a glorious lily in full bloom--a flower that deserves more than just a morning's promise of future happiness!  This was a beautiful write from your soul pen! EA |
