Plant the seed.
Water and sunshine,
Words of encouragement.
The seed starts to grow
underground.

Unseen until it peaks
To feel the sunshine.
Reaching for the sun
Growing and growing,
And blossoming

Possibly into a beautiful
And large flower.
Absorbing the water
And sunshine,
And pushing itself.

But the ground freezes
Forcefully stopping
Growth and sunshine.
Realizing it was fluorescence,
Reaching towards imitation
Sunlight, shrinking to the frost
And wishing it was still
Only a seed.
