Wilted flowers with their heads toward the sky

Forever searching for rain that will never fall

Sun that will never shine

Ignoring the problem of cut-off roots 

In my home, your fate sealed from when you were first placed in the ground to be cut and placed on my kitchen table.

One day may you return to soft soil

Hello!

I am 18 years old and currently attending high school and would like to thank my teacher Mrs Gebhard for encouraging us to be creative and bold with our poetry.
