Breakthrough

Dear little crocus,
you’ve dreamed
in the dark about the light
and now it’s time
to rise from your bulb
to make the earth burst
and show the world
your flower

Not by willpower
but you let your gentle strength,
your true nature
unfold itself
allowing, whispering

And now you’re still
so vulnerable
feet can trample you
back into the dark
in an instant
but in you is still the new
the flower has already seen the light
