springtime and fall
tearing at the petals
he loves me
he loves me still
weeping at the yellow centre
so stable
unmoving
my love for you? an autumn leaf
crunchy
shattered if stepped on
learning to
become less brittle
curl myself around you
wean
lean
infant girl
in your arms

Your analogies are inspired. I'd rather compare your beautiful heart of love to a fragile poppy flower petal than a dried up fall leaf. It's still tender, gentle even though easily blown off the flower, unlike the daisy. Thanks for challenging us all.
ma, what a beautiful description. thank you for seeing the positive in me. love you.
