Flowers In the Shade

"FLOWERS IN THE SHADE"

Once upon a dreary day, 
Over a thousand of curious dreams, 
While I laid for a  nap, 
There sprang a sparkling vission at a sudden. 
And appeared a beautiful flower blooming in the shade. 
Was not sure but confuse I was thus, 
Till I learned was my dream only. 
Yet, was a beautiful and a unique flower indeed.
That appeared in my dream alone. 
Nothing more to lament but, 
It is the 'Flowers in the Shade'

I cried out loud in the shade! 
Grieving how could this be? 
I longed to be out, away from the shade! 
Mourning how could the wind be? 
I dreamt, sang, waved, danced,
Shed tears in the shade and longed to query the light. 
But how could the light find so? 

Now I begin to imagine and seek in reality. 
The solitary, matchless, waxen alike, 
Pinkish-yellow flower that bloomed in the shade found thus blooming in reality.
