what the finch said to the flower

Hold on 
for dear life
you single
lingering
stubborn 
resilient 
petal of a golden
sunflower 
all others have fallen
you remain

clinging
to your only known center 
it’s ok to let go
though what is next 
unknown
be not afraid 
to release yourself 
find freedom
where others rest
beneath you

become
fertile soil for growth 
goodness yet discovered
