when the flowers are ready to bloom
they bloom
and i'm certain they don't spend winter
worried about how long it'll take for the snow to melt
and i'm certain they don't spend springtime
in an anxious flurry
rushing to be the first to show their vibrant colors
they just are where they are
and they bloom when they do
offering a gentle reminder to all who will listen:
you are here
and here is all you ever need to be
