Care or Bare


Let flowers grow from your hands

from love and care each stem stands

 

Some may break

and your hands may ache

 

When you let another take a flower

One more will grow within the hour

 

But without that love and care

Your fingertips will remain bare

singing bones

I am the wind. Moving and searching everlasting. Swallowing the earth with my movements.
