If you had seen her grow, she would have become a flower.
Blooming in the rain.
With roots deep in the ground.
With the earth embracing her.

And there are thorns upon her skin!
A skin still asking to be touched.
But if you had seen her grow, she would have blossomed in storm, in thunder and in summer rain.
Can you see her as a flower still?
