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....

Poet Destroyer A April 6, 2013 at 12:13 PM 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
