Sweet gutter flower, Blue petals above the grate, So much beauty In a world gone wrong. O tepid Intelligentsia, Vapid friend of misconception, Rooted in all we see. Cornflower in the grate, Blue in the sun, I face it's singleness, Pure in a way we can Never be. A blessing In which I'm not worthy, Yet I take anyway. On a night when truth Seems fleeting, A dream at the edge of waking, I can feel The question forming, And the answer So far away.
I was walking into my local college to 2nd draft some poems, As I walked to the door, I glanced upon a beautiful little flower growing out of a grate. I felt awed and sad and blessed at the same instant.
