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: Roses
Down the ladder: The Obelisk

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.
