Paperwhite You


Forced to push 
through tangled
tender roots. 

How hard 
your bloom 
in winter's 
bleakness.

Your fair skin 
luminescent beneath
December's wise moon.
She knows death,
and all we lose. 

You share secrets.
She whispers to you 
on the longest night.

Your blood courses, 
aligned with her
inevitable trip.

Behind sad eyes,
I see rebirth with 
each month's pass.

You cannot love sun
without her sister, 
but they will 
never force you. 

You'll grow more 
beautiful as all
of you blooms.
