So I turn to you Jenni TanJun 141 min readUpdated: Jun 22Opium Poppy (2024) Mixed media on canvas, 60 × 60 cmYour fragile beauty, a paradoxboth 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 ecstasynot 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.
