💧The Flower That Opens Only to Light
by Aqua

I love the light,
blooming only when the light shines.

Even when the wind blows,
even when the rain falls,
at such times,
I gently closes my bud.

But,
When the sun smiles,
As if smiling back,
I open my petals.

Gentleness
Always faces the sun.

That is my strength.
