Bloom

A poem

Today, I come as a thousand rivers
As tears run down
My cheeks so red

Today I see
The blue
Over my shoulders

I rise like the ocean’s bottom
Not heavy anymore

Today, I come as children
Finding
The love of play

Today I reach
Down and under
Stretching far and wide

Today, I come as tomorrow’s promise
As the present joy
In all that was

I come so shining and clear
All colors
Here for me to explore
