Open For A Moment, Even Just For A Moment

open your hands you may soon close them
like the child playing his fingers to the moon.

open your mind you have nothing to lose
there is everything to gain even for a moment

i have seen how the flowers open their petals
during the rain and how some petals even fall

to the ground and get crushed and muddy but
oh, i have seen how meaningful it was, how

beautiful the surrender no matter how poignant.
