unpotted

once upon a time of day

gazing out across the bay

sunken in the undertow

softly swaying sinking low

upon the waves you found me there

drinking sunshine from the air

petals poised in pink citrine

wondering where, oh where, you’ve been

to sweep me from my shallow bed

and plant me in your heart instead

unpotted though i feel to be

your love is where i am most free

.

so hold me close

dont let me go

forever yours

now watch me grow
