Tale about growth

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 holding her through storm, thunder and rain.
With a blossom welcoming the sun.
But she grew without your eyes.
Without your thoughts and words.
And they left an empty space.
An empty space to fall into.
They left her heart uprooted.
They left her leaves scattered in the wind.
And the earth too dry to hold her back.
Now her branches are wild and have outgrown you.
Her branches have grown into spaces you don’t know.
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?
