like a lily
flower.
peaceful, beautiful, useless
you must perch in the wind,
dance in the rain,
withstand the cold,
& stay still in the soil.
but
flower.
fragile, broken, ordinary
then sit on the shelf,
be judged and proded,
be bought at half- price,
and be happy with that.
don't falter
don't bother
be perfect
or be dead.
