The 365 Project

you are a flower undiscovered
still unnamed but with a beauty
surpassed only by your fragility
no color dare contain you

no narcissus bending to the water
to sob restrained at her reflection
no willow weeping in untold
lengths of green tendrils reaching

where do you go from here
you don’t know the way
you don’t know the way

what the world wouldn’t give
to love you to see you wake
in the morning to weave silver
in your hair smelling of outside

how can you choose between the
things you love when you feel unloved
when the arrows you’re shooting keep
missing the apples of your watery eyes

where do you go from here
you don’t know the way
you don’t know the way

listen
you don’t need to know
you just go
