Shining, shimmering
Glowing
A dream
From the dark recesses of a mind
I saw you
Growing-flowerlike-
Bending with the wind.
Soft heavenly petals
Velvety mist
Reminders of the rainy night
Here and gone
Leaving only the sun
Enabling the increased strength you possess.
When the winter comes
I can no longer see you
But you are not gone
Merely taking shelter
Gathering your mighty resources
Bursting with life
With energy
As spring comes forth once more.
