Flower Poem by Mattias Turovski

Please listen to me just this once
and darling, listen good.
I know why you are stuck
and why so fragile is your mood.

You’re sad because you cannot see
the path you’re on is grim.
Your sadness echoes in your eyes
because your dreams are dim.
*
It’s hard to see how to be free
if you have no such cares.
First steps may seem impossible,
they’re not, just find the stairs.

You drown your sorrow all in fun
for happiness – your goal.
Yet happiness itself, you feel
escaping from your soul.
*
So listen just this once, my darling,
listen what I say.
Let go of what you know
and let your troubles melt away.

Let go of what you think you know,
don’t search, don’t look, don’t flee.
Don’t try to search for happiness,
just love, be loved, be free.
