fragile flower

maybe i’m fragile like this flower 
maybe i’m transcendental time 
maybe i’m soft spring sunsets 
my blooming heart is all that’s mine 

maybe i’m tender like those twigs 
that get caught under your feet
maybe my feelings are too broken
some paths just aren’t so sweet 

maybe i’m silky like the grasslands 
like grace felt by rough hands 
when my senses reawaken 
i could remember the sweet sands 

did i stand amongst the waves? 
was i fish and salty breeze? 
maybe i knew that i was loved then 
as i lay amongst palm trees 

maybe love had made a home 
maybe that home was in my heart 
i could say that love is mine then 
even when we’re far apart
