Cradled by Cherries
Trickling through my sweet veins bursts a desire to
fly
through the ocean of petals, whose broken cellulose is splashed
vibrantly
against the stark heavens cradled by my palms,
with
what one might call
passion
within a world so grey, so monotone
until
I admit such colors are relative, determined
only
by the strength of my mind and an ironfast will.
Your
guidances, given by sunkissed words and lightning
feet
which hasten to right my back, my shoulders, my mind, can
remind
the most stubborn of barriers to crumble gently unto the soil,
you
remind me to step into shallow waters even as my fears
are
barraging my body. You comfort me, saying,
on
what grounds are you bearing this weight? That is the job of the
Earth.
Let
your
imagination
be
free.
