She
flutters into a bud,
dew-blessed petals mingle
with her breath
flower fingertips struggle to ensnare
this color-dusted beauty,
but her flight
makes this as simple as explaining
love.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.
