Petals

Poem

This is for the Pink

and the hues of the colour yellow

born in the late spring

between the wet days and majestically growing trees leaves deepening their green

I sat in silence

waiting for the past to be reset

brushstrokes sweeping over the stretched canvas

water turning thick of color

I witnessed the words to conquer the space

asking to be typed on the blank page

I wrote, as the poem wrote me:

I looked inside my heart;

it was full of flowers

soft white petals

multi-layered

stack on top of one another

How haven’t I dared to see them before?
