november bloom.
how is it that we spend so much time
dazed and confused, it’s quite a crime
we are meant to live through kindness and affection
taking each step with loving intention
why is it that we often find ourselves stumbling through life
tripping through the darkness desperate for light
i believe that we can change this
by knowing that we can no longer blame this
on others entirely, for we can find our way just fine
clear our heads, breathe in clarity and stop time
our strength is deathless
our capacity for love is endless
lately, i’ve been searching through myself
ripping pieces apart, refusing any help
my body and my mind were a maelstrom
my eyes searched for where i was displaced from
soon, the waters ceased the attack
i was tired but noticed a small and vibrant lilac
sprouting from my hand, holding so much promise
its petals were beautiful; they were flawless
i realized then, that this flower bloomed without the sun
that it captured the light within me, and the growth begun
the waves fell away, and i was left to stand
this was new, it was unplanned
it was november…how could this delicate flower
bloom into something so graceful with so much power?
a flower does not need the sun to reach for the sky
nor the warmth of july
but what it does need is love
that, is more than enough.
