💧Drops of Dew on Primula malacoides
by Aqua

Believe today is beautiful.
Believe tomorrow is made of small miracles.

Spring's message arrives, mingled with the sound of the wind.
Clouds float in vibrant hues,
Flowers bloom with innocent grace.

Nothing is trivial.
Not the hand gently offered,
Nor the gaze quietly exchanged.

Brighter than words,
More certain than reason,
The world is made of kindness.

This poem carefully weaves an atmosphere that evokes the delicacy of Primula malacoides and the first signs of spring.
