Unexpected Fulfilled Flower

Blooming in the unknown

By Tabitha HinkleyPublished 11 days ago 1 min read

A beautiful flower leaning into the morning light

A flower craving last night’s rainstorm

A flower opening its petals revealing all its glory inside

A flower growing where one should not be

A sand bed and dry earth to capture its essence to live

A scattering of dry leaves from far away

A flower that grew bright and tall everyday

The flower thrived on all the negative karma thrown its way

It thrived on the underlying, unhelpful, observation

A flower showing the beauty that you can retain inside

A flower flowing, growing, dancing to life

A flower never meant to be but instead shows the fullness of its life
