Gripping to the floor,

Entwined long fingers,

To make sure she doesn’t fall,

As she manoeuvres

Her way up. 

A             sparkle             of             silver             gold,

Seen                  through                   the                   muddy                    haze.

Must get there…

Must get there…

Must reach

What seems like

Heaven.

Struggling.

Pushing,

Forcing

Her way

Through

The Dirt

And Filth

Of The

World.

She finally

Reaches the

Clean open abyss

And yawns, while she

Spreads out her large luxurious

Emerald wings.

Now she feels ready to display to the world her beauty and talent.

So she decides to open her bud and one by one arranges her pure pearl like petals,

And rests her fragile head on her thick and powerful jade leaves. She gazes up towards the clear sky and feels the satisfaction of her hard work.
