Explode

For every flower that wilts, another one blooms.
For every fighter who doubts, another one presumes.
For every song that ends, another one starts.
For every robin that steals, another one comparts.
For every hope that fractures, another one mends.
For every name that rots as an enemy, another one ripens as a friend.
For every friendship that plummets, another one ascends.


“Explode” is one of the poems in the anthology The Lion Eating the Sun.
