Bloom

I’ve kindled my body back into the earth. 
She stretched her arms wide 
and embraced me tenderly.

I have time to tend to my garden again 
and I’ve seen what it really means 
to bloom.

Vulnerability, once cataclysmic to the garden, 
became the set of seeds that were 
worth waiting for. 

Welcomed by the soil, 
the sky and the clouds, 
my flowers and my fruits grow in abundance.
