May Flowers (Free verse) by oneglove Now a moment to breathe
Sheltered from the night by glass and steel
The pitter patter turns to steady drumming
Through busy streets, quiet solace
Between neon lights, reflection
All eyes straight ahead
Gazing through splintered bursts
There are moments of clarity
Quickly dissolving into fractured glass
It's the road less traveled
But you're worth the drive
Up the ladder:
The Lonesome Loser
Down the ladder:
A Civil Saving Strain

Is it about some May flowers visible in the neon lights at night, and worth the drive?

it's about reflecting in a car during a storm about a relationship. the rain falling on the windshield distorting whats outside parallels feeling confused about the relationship but as the wipers clear the rain there is a moment where things make sense. the poem ends with the realization that though times are hard the end result will be worth it. the title comes from the saying "april showers bring may flowers". the knowledge that after the storms of the relationship something beutiful can emerge.

I'm sure the person you wrote it to understood it that way.
