It's the middle of the night.

There's a knock on my front door.

I pull with all my might.

And fall straight through the floor.

I land on a cushion made from years.

In front is a glass filled with tears.

I gently lift it up.

And I dump out that silver cup.

The tin appears before me.

In it is a single seed.

I place in the ground before myself,

In the pool of my own tears.

From that tiny seeds comes, in full health,

A single blue flower, large beyond its years.
