💧Water Drop Poem

“Stay True to Yourself”

by Aqua

If you're in a painful place right now
It's not because you're weak

It's because your heart
Is feeling things deeply
Because you're truly alive

It's okay to let tears flow
It's okay to cry out, even if no one hears
Running away or stopping isn't “losing”

Spring winds are gentle
But some days are cold
Still, the sprouting grass
Waits patiently beneath the soil

Your “now” isn't everything
Your “pain” holds true meaning
Your “future” remains a blank page

So please
Leave your droplets
Behind in this world

💧January 28th's birth flower is Baby blue eyes

A Drop's Thought ~Nemophila~
by Aqua
“Even a tiny drop holds a heart full to the brim.”

The gentle blue of nemophila,
like the spring sky reflected, is the color of hope.
Within those small petals,
a great feeling quietly dwells.
