I’m sorry I killed your flowers.
I forgot to water them
once a day like you said,
the sun sucked every bit of life out of them.

I’m sorry I killed your flowers.
I didn’t mean to, but
I stepped on their delicate petals
with heavy shoes.

I’m sorry I killed your flowers but
they will bloom again
in the spring.

I don't know where I'm going, but I know I'm going somewhere beautiful.

This is gorgeous. I love how it speaks so literally of flowers, while touching on the powerful idea that everything can heal and grow again. It made me feel hopeful. Thank you for sharing.
