A flower sits alone
as schools of fish swim by
asking questions about loneliness
not wanting to hear a lie
The flower cried
then suddenly a wisp of wind
asking why the tears
my beautiful friend
The flower lamented
alone with many creatures around
nothing to love me
feeling root bound
The rain came
and answered with the wind
you are not alone
there are many friends
Uniqueness
makes what you are
all wildlife has a gift
loving you near and far
Seeds are carried
and you landed here
flourishing in an environment
to spread love and cheer
Listen to those around
and you will feel warm
soon other flowers will come
seeds in the storm
The flower smiled
as a new bloom arose
alike but different
glowing as it grows
The river welcomed
life old and new
living in community
love grew
