Breakthrough
A sideways glance, I see you shine
your purple spark, enchanting
sprung up beside an old street pole
from concrete crack, shy flower.
How can you grow among the grays
your sunshine petals, perky?
Blooming where you should not be
a humble over comer.
My hurting heart, from cold to warm
hard as stone, now softening
for I will rise above adversity
learn to love my enemy
and bloom, a resurrected lily.
