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?

I read Ellie's article on blossoms and now I'm feeling like a wilted flower in comparison! Her vivid descriptions truly made the petals of poetry bloom in my mind. I'm considering hiring her to write my love notes - with that kind of flowery language, who wouldn't fall head over heels?
