Silently it Spoke.

From a crack in the sidewalk

a tiny, fragile flower bloomed.

Its firm courage
and determination to grow
in the most unlikely place
on its own terms
gave me pause.

The next morning
my new resolutions blossomed.

The will to reach for the sun comes in the most unlikely of places, it's desire to grow, reproduce and bring hope and joy to the passerby effortless to those who want to live enough to notice/witness her triumph and learn from it.
