Beautiful piece - I especially love the surprise of the opening and this: "I want to be seen. / Seen like the first blooms of spring bravely / entering the next phase of an uncertain future." Oof. May we all have the bravery we need to enter this uncertain future.
Thank you. I miss being in the creative writing group and our nourishing talks. I’m currently working on the bottom level of the hierarchy of needs, but hope that can change sometime.❤️
I love the turn this poem takes a the end, Sue Ann. It's such a treat to be surprised like that. I just finished reading Richard Powers's The Overstory, so I came to your poem with my head filled with botanical descriptions and energy.

Thank you, lovely one.
Gorgeous.
Thank you for taking the time to comment, Donna. I'm thinking about you out there navigating the red sea. ;-)

Perhaps we can walk there together. :-)
