Wallflowers

[jinxed]

When each awakening is accompanied by the vision of being embraced by him, 

when his existence invigorates every deed throughout the day,

when hearing his approval surpasses anyone else's in its impact,  

when the wish to ensure his wellbeing outweighs any urge to reproach him,

when his appearing out of thin air arouses every single cell in the body, 

 

then his presence becomes water,

finding its way towards the weathered, yet enduring wall around the heart, 

flowing around it in a soft and steady stream,

feeling out the tiniest cracks that hungrily absorb it,

fusing with the mortar that runs through this stony memorial, 

feeding it life, encouraging what's hidden behind it

to break out into spirited shoots and trusting little buds

to be crowned with the most vivid and ambrosial blossoms. 

 

If left to grow with time and nurturance, 

these delicate wallflowers will thrive

and soon turn that grey wall into a sea of flowers.

Beautifully written. I wish I could write like you.
