Petals fall like snow

bright and soft, we begin our lives
held tightly, nurtured, protected

we strain against that which holds us
seeking freedom, growth

but do we understand
that by our declaration of independence,
we are forever changed

Too Slow Tulips

slow and hesitant
spring arrives in baby steps
waiting to open
