To be a purple clematis
Growing and blooming and climbing high, like a purple clematis
May I put a healthier mindfulness into practice
Even with this broken stem, with determination I’ll move henceforth
No longer merely idle in the soil for warmth
And with the way the colors red and blue mix to purple in balance
Let me meld rationality with emotionally, even with the past as weighful valance
The ties that push me on, they comprise my roots
As gentle rain of the kindness I’ve known will give me more flowers to produce
Oh resilience and mental strength, come to me and expand my wisdom as the clematis is prone to grow
Let all my efforts burst forth floor seeds one may sow
Surely, then, I’ll rise and rise with these scars
And finally reach the stars

Flowering
Slowly like a purple clematis, with a newfound mind I’ll bloom
Rising out to the stars, with clarity, from all this inner gloom
Climb, I will, with the strength of a blue Alium, I’ll heal
This grief, may it be consumed, fueling perseverance to overcome difficulty akin to steel
Oh with the courage of a white gladiolus, may my spirit grow
May it forge endurance that I can sow
Yet still, with the capacity of a cistus, through any sort of circumstance I yearn to rise
Let this imbue determination to avoid any demise
Ah, with the dedication of an green carnations, shall I meet my goal?
Could fortune and virtue bathe my soul?
And at last with elegance, sensibility, respectability, like a Mimosa, letting joy and life radiate from me like the sun
So, like sunshine, I’ll live and no longer run
