The Flower That Survived

There once was a flower
Blooming beautifully and happily 
Brilliant and mighty
Just the sight alone, brought a smile

One day, when I looked
The flower lost its petals
Lost its brilliancy and power
The sight was all crooked

I tried watering more
Offering more sunshine
But no matter what I did
It was all in vain

Then one day, a thought hit me
I took the flower 
Placed it somewhere else
And waited

To my surprise 
The flower showed hints of curiosity
It started blooming
Lifting her petals in hopes

Miraculously within a few days
The flower was blooming again
As if nothing happened
Strong and more brilliant than before

There is a hidden meaning in all of this, if life isn't as we would like, do we move ourselves to another place and start again ...Seren

Another place, another environment, another hobby, another something.. just try and maybe it clicks.. surprisingly you will feel better, enjoy again and forget what you left...
