💧Yarrow's Drop Poem

by Aqua

A cluster of tiny flowers
that glisten in the light—
drops of quiet strength
that won’t break even in the wind.

Though the saw-toothed leaves
bear the marks of past pain,
they’re soft to the touch
and gently reach toward the future.

May your journey, too,
continue just like this—
quiet, strong, and gentle.
