💧 Carnation (Pink) – A Droplet Poem: “A Droplet of a Smile”

Story by Aqua

The overlapping petals
are the shape of a heart that gently draws near.
A droplet that falls with a soft plop
reflects that tenderness.
Every time I recall someone’s smile,
the flower blooms once more.

💧 A Poem About a Droplet on a Red Carnation:
“A Droplet Falling into the Source of Warmth”

by Aqua

The deep red is
a flame that burns deep within the heart.
A droplet that touches its petals
comes to know the warmth of kindness.
The feeling of thinking of someone
has gently taken shape as this color.
