I watched myself wilting
fallen petals beside my feet
I wilted and wilted
down to my roots
Shedding everything
which weighed so heavy on my shoulders, everything
I don’t need anymore
I nourished myself
in the rich black soil
I watched myself growing new leaves and standing up tall,
a bud formed in my heart,
strong and gentle,
residing in my deepest truth
And now I’m ready
to bloom
