Your fragile beauty, a paradox
both a warning and a promise.
In moments when shadows close
and no refuge can be found,
I feel like a bird within its cage,
yearning not just to escape,
but to understand my wings. 

So I turn to you.
Opium poppy, teach me your ecstasy
not to numb, but to awaken.
In your bloom, I see the dance of light and dark,
the fragile balance of life’s fleeting grace. 
Guide me beyond mere survival,
toward a legacy shaped by resilience,
where even in harm, there is beauty,
and in despair, the spark of hope.
