Flower Bud~ To The Vivid Future Poem by Casey Jarrell

I am waiting
under the cold
frozen sky.
The shining
world;
I opened my eyes to it!

Gentle lights
pour down on my flower bud.
I am no longer feeling scared.
Go up, up, as I raise my hands.
Even my tears
and sighs turn into glitter.
They melt away the snow flakes
only to be reborn.

The warm rays of the sun shine down
and embrace me.
To the vivid future,
I open my petals to it.

The blue sky is wide and endless.
On a small chest,
a big dream is shown.
The scar of that day
fades away.

Now, with strength and courage,
a new life is
is this unshakeable vow.
I won't be erased from this city.
Go up, up and bloom!
Even my tears
and sighs flicker.
Fly away dream seeds
carrying hope.

Softly
in a gentle breeze
while wrapped up
to the vivid future,
I open my petals to it!
