Belonging

Shadowy need
Soul's nutrition

A warmth
A feeling

The mind's intersection
Consciousness mingling
Prepositions activation

With

Beside

Along

Easily born
As easily spoiled
Expectations invade
Disappointments accrete

Does freedom resolve
Relationship's risk?
Or perhaps great diligence
Attentive,
Alert.

Idealists beware
Simple answer doth fail

A garden's needs do vary
A flower may flourish
Untended
Untouched
Be it located well
Good sun
Good neighbors

Another may wilt
Without daily care
Water
Weeds
Soil
In perfect alignment

A botanist knows
Accepting the traits
Doing the work
And leaving behind
Incompatible plants
