A Diary Entry of a Young Plant

Blessed to be part of God's open-theatre 
But a weather whiplash created a havoc 
My innocent joy evaporated 
My lean body quivered by the violent winds
Pitter! Patter! It started pouring down 
The winds added fuel to the storm 
Sturdy trees prostrated on the ground
Accepting their defeat in the duel 
It flooded all over submerging me 
Luckily, the flow took a quick diversion
By dawn, the level dropped down to my neck 
And I could see the limpid firmament 
Noticed a ray like a sharp needle 
Came out penetrating the stretched blue denim 
Over the moon! I was spellbound by sunlight!
