Poem
Last year the fields were dust and bone,
The rivers whispered in dirt and stone.
The sun stood high, a ruthless king
A crown of fire, heat never-ending.

It saw itself in glory and pride
And looked at the Earth in arrogant snide
“See me, how I’ve grown into a King,
Without me you wouldn’t be anything”

On the ground, far below
The flowers tried to stretch and grow
But their roots found only thirst beneath
And soon there was nothing left to reap.

They wilted, some in fear and hate,
Left silence- empty and desolate.
The Sun looked down in stunned despair
“Oh no I’m sorry – I’m un aware I just
Wanted all to see, how I have become a better me”

It fled in a bought of gloomy rain
To grieve and repent for the suffering and pain.
Seasons turned, as seasons do 
And soon the great thaw gave way to blooms.

From sleeping seeds and smothered breaths,
The flowers arose from the dead.
They laughed and sung and danced in bands,
Waving their petals like music fans.

They sung forgiveness to the golden skies,
“We forgive, though you watched us die,
We understand that fires burn 
But now its spring, we must return”.

The sun shone down with a meekly stare,
Its brilliant rays no longer proud or flared.
It heard its pardon, the flowers’ reprieves 
But it could not shake the guilt it had buried deep.

The sun, ashamed, began to pour
Its sorrow down forevermore.
The clouds, they gathered, bloated and dim,
The air grew thick, the sky turned grim.

The river swelled, out of its bed
The water rushed and  rushed and spread.
It tore through roots of daisy and lily 
And swallowed the meadows of the Mississippi.

The flowers, once so brave and bright,
Were drowned beneath a falling light.
Their stems went limp, their petals bled
Not scorched this time, just softly dead.

The sun burned on, behind the veil,
A ghost behind a cloudy jail.
It couldn’t find forgiveness in itself,
So please next time, forgive yourself.
