A work in progress, but a poem for you all. (feedback welcome)

Vegan

I don’t know where the seed of this flower came from

Nor what nourished its growth

I don’t know how long it took to germinate

But I do know the moment the flower bloomed

A day of thanks stained by an invisible spill

Overfull with squalid fruits the flower in my soul now blooms

Its petals unfurled spewing forth compassion and remorse in equal measure

I pled forgiveness; I knew not what I had done

taller than the Burj Khalifa

roots deeper than the Mariana Trench

Its forgiveness surpasses the buddha

Its resolute design eclipsing the pyramids

Its gifts more splendid than heaven

And truths more brutal than the depths of hell

Resolve stronger than the hardest steels

I have become this flower and this flower is me
