I watched the tulips die
faltering down
almost like a cry
no water
and a dark sky
they were gone
I was sure
but just like that
they grew back
it was slow
but eventually
they regained their glow
the yellow against the snow
reminding me
that I too
can grow
even after I was stepped on
even if my vase was drained
I can be a tulip
passing every hardship
with an effortless shine
and a perfect bloom
against the darkest gloom
