Blossom
The Bacon Cat Legging Society
She cannot come into her own,
not in yours, or even her own timing.
but when the concrete breaks under her feet & she appears...
... they'll talk about it for years, and years.
Will he see her as more than a weed in driveway cracks?
Will he see her as a sunflower hellbent on chasing the sun?
Will he put her in a vase, on a shelf - tell her she's the one?
or will he plant her in a garden?
Will he make sure she has water - build her an Eden?
Will he let her blossom?
and whatever bed she makes
will she let herself blossom?

Let’s get one thing straight: Peridot isn’t just a gemstone. It’s a whole mood. The color of envy, abundance, grass-stained knees, summer’s last laugh, and the green spark of magic that lives under your skin when no one’s looking. Which makes it a perfect prompt for August - that bittersweet threshold between peak heat and first harvest, where we start turning inward while still dripping with sweat and sunscreen.
