wildflower
beneath the bridge
on a
bridge
untraveled
now
in a
crevice
near
the brow
the
wildflower survived
trampled
early
underfoot
adapted
slowly
in her
nook
the
wildflower grew
found
her footing
shot
roots deep
growing
downward
painful
sleep
the
wildflower changed
from
the pit
beneath
the bridge
she
found the sun
above
the ridge
the
wildflower bloomed
and my
heart cried
