6 ) Like the dew
That clings for life
On hare's foot fern
So I, too, rely on you
Though I may vanish
Love is like water--as silent as the ocean.
There were delicate balances in the garden to be had, a graceful careful nature to be intoned. Flowers were precious, natural ones few, he was told. The dark-haired one wondered if that meant they were easily broken.
The groundskeeper laughed. Flowers were hearty, their seeds and essence influencing and overtaking the plants around them.
The one who asked frowned in thought.
A drop of water is more delicate, the reply went on. It holds its shape for moments before being absorbed into soft petals. Its life was for the flowers, the groundskeeper said. And the flowers would never even notice.
A pause for silence; contemplation.
Nigredo thought he understood.
