the instructions were:
you will be given a heart --
inside that heart is a rose --
within that rose
lies a pearl
visible only
with your
blossoming....
•
for this to happen,
you must plant your feet firmly
into rich earth....
open your arms
to the caressing sun....
breathe deeply
when the winds race to meet you....
bathe daily
in the warm salty water
of your own tears and sweat....
•
in this way
will you grow enough
and grow
strong enough
to
unfurl....
to discover the pearl
that is only yours
yet not
for you....
