Fate of Flowers
My soul yearns to wander in a poetic garden,
not to remain hidden under overgrown weeds.. (the poet)
Rumi says; "It is rain that grows flowers not thunder."
Some bloom like roses, some like poppies_
spreading verdant, vibrant and diverse colours..
Sunflowers reach for the sky,
whilst lobelia droop towards the ground...
Yet, nothing blossoms forever ~
we wither, perishing like premature petals..
Those who sowed nostalgic memories,
flourish through generations -
others are forgotten like wildflowers.
