Description An amber flower stands rooted upon a hill,
Blowing fiercely within the strong wind.
She bends against her will,
Nearly breaking out of shape,
And rippling as waves within the tossing sea.

Ice-cold rain falls from the heavens.
It sticks upon her petals.
Underneath the looming gray clouds she shutters,
craving the sunlight once again.

She sees other flowers around her,
But thinks she cannot reach them.
She is just one in the world,
Cold, wet, and alone.

Suddenly a kind flower turns towards her.
She feels a strange sensation in her roots,
And realizes he is moving his around hers,
Like two friends holding hands.
Soon, many more follow his actions.
Far before she can show her gratitude,
Thousands of roots overlap her own.

The flowers huddle together,
Petal by petal, for warmth and support.
As they link stalks, twisting and bending,
They comfort one another
From the dangers of the murky sky.

The flowers soak the chilling raindrops
Into their newly intertwined roots.
The cold water, once so dreadful,
Now turns warm and refreshing.
