Delicate


A bud

I will talk to it

Help it grow with strong words

It will talk to me

Waving in the air

A language that feels

 

A leaf

It is strong

It is trustful

It feels my needs

And I know its

 

A petal

It feels truth

I know its truth

It is growing

As am I

 

A rose

Always there

I can reach it

It can feel me near

 

I talk to it

I feel it gently

It is strong

I won’t pluck it

Because I love you
