the floating flower

The floating flower
drifts
along the ripples
of the lonely river.

A little bruised.
A little trampled.
Beautiful
just the same.

Waiting,
for someone
to lovingly save it
from the uncertainty.

A little yearning,
bafflingly,
for the same unworthy hands
that threw it away.

Yet the floating flower,
though hurt in pride,
shall not wilt.

A flower as special
shall not drown.
