BLOOM

entry picture

Be like the rain, relentless and free

Yet gentle enough for a thirsty tree.

Be like the wind, a powerful force

Yet soft enough to change its course.

 

Be like the ocean, vast and wide

Yet still enough for a gentle tide.

Be like the mountains, tall and proud

Yet humble enough to bow to the cloud.

 

Be like the earth, grounded and deep

Yet open enough for secrets to keep.

Be like the stars, distant and grand

Yet close enough to lend a hand.

 

Be like the sun, shining so bright

Yet warm enough to chase away the night.

Be like the moon, a calming glow

Yet strong enough to ebb and flow.

 

Be like yourself, unique and true

Yet kind enough to see others through.

Be the best version, you can possibly be

And let your spirit bloom to forever run free.
