WISTERIA



did you know that Wisteria is no different than a weed.
A vine with its delicate flower clusters, 
very much resembling bunches of grapes.
winds its way up trees and telephone poles.
Can be shaped to wind its way around a trellis,
its flowers hanging down from the trellis top.

Also able to be pruned into a bush,
it nevertheless stretches and grows,
always yearning to connect to a solid base
and wind around and around,
always reaching out and up.

The flowers are extremely sensitive to rain, 
withering and then blooming again
even more prolifically.

I, like the Wisteria, am sensitive,withering on occasion.
Like the Wisteria, I also am stronger when the rain has left
and the sun is shining again.

Like the Wisteria, growth is ongoing, reaching and rising with always extending.
