  • A Weed’s Farewell

    For those who dwell where they are not appreciated. May you find your place to bloom.

    Bolted, like a plant too eager to bloom

    Now stretched out, gone to seed and

    Full of the bitterness of pressure

    And changeable weather.

    Hack me back to my roots

    Take the seeds of potential

    Which I have quietly nurtured

    And spread them far from here.

    Where the water is plentiful

    And the seasons mild

    Where I can turn my face to the sun

    And dance in the rain.

    In your eyes I have been but a troublesome weed

    Yet when you watch me bloom and unfurl

    I guarantee that you will see what I have

    Always known, 

    in my roots,

    in my quiet wisdom

    I am a radiant, strong and passionate flower.
