Virgo Vitality

I feel and see your love—
how you tend to the world
that too often withholds return—
how even in your own storms
you reach outward,
checking the pulse of others
even as your own pain 
pressures in.

Your resilience is not noise,
not the crash of waves,
but the quiet strength
of a butterfly—
purple softness catching light,
wings still fluttering
even when torn by fierce weather.

You remind me
that care is an art form—
in every animal you nurture,
in every friend you hold
from drifting away.

The poet within you, 
the self you feel has dimmed,
is still alive—
strengthening others,
strengthening me. 

I may not always say it,
but your presence steadies me—
your efforts do not go unseen.
You are valued—deeply—
today and always.

None of you has died—
you live yet still—
your love carried on every flower,
every heart 
you land upon.

Laura, you look upon the world with such kindness and tact. You are like the sign you describe here in that your word choice is a real gift and appreciation for the giver herself. In a way, it makes me think you are describing how you look at the world and the support you extend. Truly a wonderful heart you have, and I hope you truly feel and appreciate what you have and are. It's something you can't hide. Smiles!!
