A Blooming Flower
A Blooming Flower

A Free-verse Fictional Poem

Pop up

From the dust, I grew

Each dot in the universe

connects with the

cells of my body

Pop up

I open the petals

of my heart buried

within this frail vessel

Pop up

I outstretched my hands

to hold the water

from the blue sky

Pop up

I held the crown in my stalk

to gaze the shining Sun

and the sparkling Stars

Pop up

I’m a collective

pearl in the cosmos

Blossoming and drying,

I leap from life to non-life

in a short span.
