Blossoming (CTPWC)

Shriveled little stalk, so close to death,
she lacked the nutrients
required to sustain life.

Non-anchored was she, alone...
never realizing she'd planted herself
in a bed of sand.

Beneath an impenetrable ceiling
was she found when first
the raindrops of love fell.

But being non-anchored, the sweet rain
swept her away to a viable ground
enabling her to firmly take root.

And the sun shone in (no ceiling found),
and the sweet rain filled her being.
And she came back to life, oh, miracle, she!

And then one day, in thankfulness
to the raindrops of love, her heart burst forth...
a beautiful flower!

Very nice one there too! I did however enjoy and Star and flag your first submission. Not to take away from this one, as its good too. But your first one resonated with me much deeper.
This one.. Makes me think about how you should always keep in touch, and how you should treat a relationship much like a rose, or beautiful flower! I like it, and again, great to see new members getting into the writers block here on ATS.. I refer to is as the writers block.. A core group of members who have been around for some time. And some who like you are new to the group.. I welcome you, and thank you for your nice poem here! I give you a star for this one
