Blossom in the Snow

(Inspired by the poetry of Fallenangelsweapon)      
     
Awkward innocence, shy and meek      
Not quite woman, but still not a child      
     
Swept up, adrift in the swells of emotion      
Encountering first love, blossoming sexuality      
     
All the many perils, terrors of adolescence      
But brave enough to feel them, write it down      
     
Pen and poet amidst the swirling maelstroms      
Soothing our pain with such pure eloquence      
     
How fragile and precious you are sweet versifier    
A single budding rose against the blizzard    
   
Like a blooming flower just ahead of her time    
Peeking through the snow before your spring  
     
Oh that I could step in and somehow save you      
Rescue you from all the ugliness of this world      
     
But I can’t, all I can do is read and admire      
Adore the beauty that is your delicate solitude      
     
Knowing that soon you shall prevail, blossom      
Becoming the Emily D. you are destined to be
