Reflection of flawed imperfection staring back at me pleading to be cherished. I found truth from within, buried underneath a yearning to be desired, yet a needing of love from Self. Crooked smiles were gracefully painted on its canvas; a wrapping of the arms hugging tightly around self; a resting of the hands against the warming heart. Sensitive to the unfamiliar touch of affection, deprived by others. It was then when I recognized the sensation. the interior warmth, the restoration of courage to feel again. The intrinsic means to rebirth in spirit. A dying soul awakening from the cold winds. A blossoming of the new flower. A rose striving through a concrete past. A glistening dandelion once more from a glimpse of the Son. It was then when I felt love. It was then when I embraced the Sonβs light that shone upon her reflection. It was then when I found her. Belle Fleur. Iβve loved her ever since.
