Dear Curiosity Journal,

When you marvel at a flower

Don’t forget her fight

When you stand before her

Blossoms drenched in sunshine

Remember she waited in the rain

When you behold her 

Delicate petals in flutter 

Recall how she held herself 

Steady in the wind 

Bear in mind 

She has been here before

She will return again

Her beauty is from beyond

An expression of Mother Nature

Embodying vibrancy and violence

Hand in hand 

When you marvel at a flower

Don’t forget her fight 

~Joy
