felicity

like a tulip
   bulb reaching
      towards the
   sun

   my heart is
      rising.

i am not afraid.

i am not afraid be
   cause i trust
      you.

there is a simple
   understanding be
      tween us as be
   tween the
      wind & the
grass.

we speak to
   gether without
      words & i
   see no
shadow.

therefore i freely
   offer my heart in
      to your hands &

   open my arms to ac
      cept your heart as

a tulip opens
   bravely to the
      sun.

the fruit of the
   tulip is
      beauty &
   freedom is her
treasure.
