Grey Garden

Lingering longing hung like gallows, blossoming shadows of bliss to seed her love. Barriers of brick, metal and plastic confining the flourishing depths of her roots. Shadowing walls of hurt and anguish, threatening to veil the sunshine in which all true colors need to thrive. All beauty that does exist is fleeting back to the cosmos. Stretching to it's limits, incomplete the stem is weak but leaves and petals shine. Nurturing the importance of life against all odds, knowing there is nothing you can do to fix it. You just trust in your heart that your pollen will be carried to a place that illuminates the grey garden. Spreading like invasive love struck souls In harmony. May the meadow of her existance envelope future struggles and fertilize the soils of her bounty.
