Desert' Flower

desert' Flower Walking through the desert' a dying flower - I encountered. With my shadow I covered it. With my tears I watered it. Watching that flower for a moment, come back to life - I compeared it- to my own. My life was slowly coming to an end. I had no one to care for me. Life can be pretty sad, when there is loneliness. Like the desert' flower - it too starts to deteriate and little by little it starts to die. A flower is beautiful, when it first blooms, so is our life when we are in our prime, but like the desert' flower one day - it too, will come to an end....

This is a perfect analogy of life and death! You have tenderly portrayed the desert flower to our own lives, from a beauty to wilted deterioration! I really loved reading your delightful poem this afternoon! What a powerful piece this is, quite the dynamic poem, Great Work!!

wow Lucy, i love the way you expressed yourself and the flower you sheltered and compared it with your own life. A pin pointing poem, in which all things and living things come to an end. a flower is always more when taken care of, xox~ Linda
