Magic exists. Who can doubt it, when there are rainbows and wildflowers, the music of the wind and the silence of the stars? Anyone who has loved has been touched by magic. It is such a simple and such an extraordinary part of the lives we live.

Listen to me, your body is not a temple. Temples can be destroyed and desecrated. Your body is a forestβthick canopies of maple trees and sweet scented wildflowers sprouting in the underwood. You will grow back, over and over, no matter how badly you are devastated.

Wildflower; pick up your pretty little head,
It will get easier, your dreams are not dead.

Bad things don't dig down through your life until the pit's so deep that nothing good will ever be big enough to make you happy again. No matter how much shit, there will always be wildflowers.

Very little grows on jagged rock. Be ground. Be crumbled, so wildflowers will come up where you are.

To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter... to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring β these are some of the rewards of the simple life.

Men do change, and change comes like a little wind that ruffles the curtains at dawn, and it comes like the stealthy perfume of wildflowers hidden in the grass.

in the afterglow
of an evening rain
i lay down
in the grass
and think of you
my body aches
like an after-kiss
breaking in soft fires
and wildflowers
my dear,
i will always be
this tender for you.

Itβs just like the one Scarlet had.β He flipped the gun in his palms, running his thumbs along the barrel. βShe shot me in the arm once.β
This confession was said with as much tenderness as if Scarlet had given him a bouquet of wildflowers rather than a bullet wound.
Cress and the others traded sorrowful looks.

Donβt go,β he said, still half asleep.
βI have to bathe. I smell like a forest fire.β
βYou smell like wildflowers. You always do. What can I say to make you stay?β His words trailed off into a drowsy mumble as he fell back asleep.
Tell me itβs more than war and worry that makes you speak those words. Tell me what they would mean if you werenβt a king and I werenβt a soldier.
