all it took was a stubborn seed
to pierce the ground and slay the weed
breakthrough the obstacles that be
bury the root. to set her free
all i could see was a fragile stem
pastel petals for a diadem
if not for her i'd never dreamt
that i could bloom, renewed again
colors pushing through the ground
with no applauses to be found
into the dirt she had been bound
until her efforts revealed her crown
now she rises to the sky
so effortless, she needn't try
her beauty brings tears to my eyes
as she leaves her grave behind

🌟 “Michael and the Moonlit Melody Michael. Michael wasn’t just any boy—he had a gift A bedtime story Once upon a soft, starry night, in a cozy little town where music floated through the air like fireflies, there lived a boy named Michael. Michael wasn’t just any boy—he had a gift hidden inside him, a gentle glow that only came out when the world grew quiet.

What a wonderful way to imagine the growing of a plant (or even a child). I'll never look at my flowers again without thinking of this poem. Brilliantly done.
