About the work
The Flower longs for the touch
of its lover the sun.
She opens to him freely
eagerly anticipating
his nurturing power
to feed and protect her
as she grows.
Likewise, I long for you
to touch me in a way
that I might open
to be nourished
cared for and protected
through love until
I'm ready to become uprooted
from my hurt and pain.

Title Hybrid Flower
The Flower longs for the touch
of its lover the sun.
She opens to him freely
eagerly anticipating
his nurturing power
to feed and protect her
as she grows.
Likewise, I long for you
to touch me in a way
that I might open
to be nourished
cared for and protected
through love until
I'm ready to become uprooted
from my hurt and pain.
