A yellow daisy to the rain;
My heart will be a lovely cup
Altho' it holds but pain.
For I shall learn from flower and leaf
That color every drop they hold,
To change the lifeless wine of grief
To living gold."
--Alchemy, Sara Teasdale

I like the sentiment as well, but I chose it because it suits Keira, her feelings, and her desires. I can't really say more than that about it. It may or may not make more sense in time.

Ha! If only hearts bore some resemblance to cups, it would be so easy to change their contents. I also don't buy that there's anything meaningful to learn from flower or leaf when it comes to matters of the heart. Sure, it sounds nice, but this poem doesn't appeal to me, not at all. Though I like the general sentiment that even in pain, beauty can be found. The image is a completely different matter, it appeals to me very much. I simply love these low-light shots with blurred city lights in the background. I can never get enough of them, thanks for the treat.
