Blooming Friendship

All Stems

Lacking Leaves

Flowers refuse to bloom

Reproductive Rest

No pollen to attract Spreaders

Pinched petioles

Leaves left for other occasions

For smoking?

Ephemeral energy

Should have been mine

Now wafts lazily

Cleansing another's room

The stems are vibrant

Verdant

Erect with purpose

Nurturing nutrients flow

Sustaining nothing

Creating nothing

Nothing

My hope for flowers

For sharing my love

and unfurling leaves

For vitality

Rests with the rain

That fails to fall
