Maybe we want to be
like the flowers
pressed in books,
specifically chosen out of all
the little beautiful flowers
the petals die and fall
and disconnect from their world.
And while they are broken, dying
and slowly withering away
someone finds potential
of it becoming beautiful.
They take the time and gentleness
to pick it up
without breaking it even more
and preserving it forever.
