Goodness Grows

Grape hyacinths grow 
in innocent clusters
Spring harbingers 
of warming soil and sun

Epilepsy sits quietly, innocently ~ clustering and seizing to slam and fall suddenly with little warning.

Grape hyacinths pop up 
in lawns and fields 
Epilepsy crashes and jerks 
unexpectedly through families

Fragrant auras of a grape hyacinths
are delicate and sweet.
An aura for a seizure blossoms 
into fear and anxiety.

Grape hyacinths ~
lovely and gentle.
Those with epilepsy each 
have their own goodness.

“I smiled back and I thought how incredible that was, 
that they would find the time to smile. There was goodness 
in the world still, even if you couldn’t always see it.”
 ~ Jenny Valentine, Broken Soup
