Twisting on a line of indecision
swept up in a breeze of emotion
little lilies dance
moving in swirling circles
like small yellow petal children.

Awaiting the winds lulls,
the breeze drops
their lover’s porcelain heart

They sink to sit and catch
the red glass figurine
saving it from the shattering
with their soft yellow bodies.

Little petals bruise themselves
to save the remnants
of the heart’s ability
to be open to the bounty
of future love.
