Petals (Poetry)

My head feels empty.

As tears fall from my eyes like petals

I know I can be grateful

because there are still flowers growing.

Yet once my head gets through this

And the flowers are in full bloom,

My heart can withstand

All the challenges at hand.

It may take a day,

It may take years,

But the key is growth

And even some tears,

For flowers grow

Not only by the sun.

They grow by being watered

Which can only happen when rain clouds appear.
