When Kindness Found Me
It happened on one blue day
when my petals were bruised,
and my spirit almost hung itself,
no longer bearing the weight
of being an immortal light source
in a time of forgotten prayers.
I was nearly weeping
not in storms that swallow the world around me,
but in the language of scorpion grasses at dusk
soft, bowed, barely blooming.
He came like a gentle comet,
not as a man,
but as the guiding Hermes
a smile, soft as sacred crocuses,
carrying no judgment,
emerging from a cold land,
gently touching the unopened bud
of my fragile sorrow,
just to remind me:
someone still sees.
Then came the embrace
two arms wrapped around
like vines of honeysuckle
entwining the walls of my cold cathedral of solitude
with warmth and grace:
a tulip and hyacinth embroidery.
I did not flee from that sacred place,
not because I forgot Eros,
but because I remembered Persephone,
longing for the sun,
wandering through labyrinths of wonder
even in Hades' hasty gentleness.
But guilt arrived
on a shocking wave of pain,
measuring the weight of my heart
against a moment I did not ask for
nor did I deserve it,
yet I allowed it.
Not ashamed for desiring a mortal feeling,
but for that pale flicker of bloom
that rose inside my crimson heart
and dared to face the sun.
Yet even so,
I crossed no sacred boundary,
and kept my faith to Hera's vows
my trembling hand bore no corruption,
only the scent of oleander.
Now I return
to the sacred garden I tend with care,
to the altar of my chosen love,
where trust grows like lavender
at the gates of devotion.
He saw me unguarded,
but I see myself whole again
a celestial being reborn beneath the stars:
not untrue or disloyal,
only open,
only tender,
only alive.
