Blue Lily Lost

I am a bud
In a dry summer desert
That has been waiting to open
For a long time

Don't mind my strangely placed roots
Please
Or that I am a weird flower to see
In this sort of expanse

If you water me
Please understand
Don't condemn me, if I need more
than you are used to giving

I am a bud
In a dry summer desert
That has been wanting to open
For a long time

It's dark in here
I don't know how to get out
Only that I am hot from the sun
And thirsty

I want to be opened
But slowly
I want to be freed
In a controlled way

I am a bud
In a desert
That has been longing to be
A blossom of the night

If you let me
