Bloom

You do not have to be perfect, 
You do not have to beg and plead- 
for forgiveness that is already given to you. 
You only have to ask once, 
and you will be forgiven. 
You only have to let your, 
inner voice speak your truth - 
tell me about your loneliest days, 
and I will tell you mind. 
Meanwhile, a child throws a rock 
into the water just to watch the ripples. 
The clouds make way for the moon -
as the stars come out at night. 
Wherever you are no matter how strong-
or weak you may be feeling, 
the night offers itself to you
like the sun coming up for the next day, 
and the way the flowers bloom-
you will too.
