Uprising

Are you fragile

or are you scared

thankful for another

washed out day

time to spend

far away

from the everlasting

love

of life’s

bountiful, beautiful

bouquet

Are you alone

or are you lonely

graciously awaiting

a lost soul

someone to yearn

for infinite days

a love earned

from parting ways

Are you small

or are you belittled

affably sinking

into others words

accepting your fate

without even thinking

following the herd

There will come a time

for answers

demanding voices

powerful choices

friends uplifting

a spirit rejoices

Are you flourishing

or are you blooming

hopefully rising

the crowds support

boosting you up

for another uprising
