Hope has white petals
That fly high on the wind
Free

Pain blooms red and thorny
Deep into your flesh
But the glimpse of white
Fleeting

Lets the life in

I have chronic pain and lately, it has been hell. Now it is finally, hopefully beginning to slowly get better. Hope is so very important in this kind of situations!

Thanks to Cie Turvey for the one-line poetry prompt: Bloom, and thanks to the Chalkboard team for making this all happen.
