May I rot.

Lying in the grass, absorbed by the rain,  

I belong to the tears of nature herself.  

My skin rots and deforms,  

Allowing me to rejoin once more.  

I blossom and sprout,  

Wishing to live on,  

To be the flower that is loved.  


I exist beyond mortality,  

Living until dusk,  

Finding peace in my unworldly form,  

Discovering love in nature, even as I decay into the ground.  

Once again, my skin tears apart.  

I become nourishment, a flower, soil, and love.  

I continue my cycle,

I remain cherished.
