Which one are you reaching for?
The shy lily, but it's so far away.
Why would you choose that one?
I prefer this one because it's bright and beautiful.
You could hurt yourself; it's hard to get.
I'm starting to reach already.
You've made some progress, but I'm scared for you.
I'll be fine. The joy of obtaining it is greater than the journey.
I don't think you can reach it.
If I push hard enough, I will.
You almost have it!
I feel it on my fingertips. It's so close, but I can't get my grasp on it.
Steady you don't want to hurt yourself.
I'm already cut up I need to continue. If only the flower could reach toward me.
Watch out your falling!
I'm falling. I'm falling. I fell.

The setting of this poem is a field of flowers and is based on a conversation between two people. It has special meaning to me.
