A Flower Without its Sunshine

A Flower Without its Sunshine

 

A dark cloud loomed

Over a single, lonesome flower.

It had not yet bloomed

As others towered.

Then, one day its sunshine came,

Spilling over its petals after a long time.

Bringing out its colors, a new hope it gave,

A flower flourished with its sunshine.

 

Its sky was bright,

And its days filled with beauty’s fragrance.

Finally, its dream was coming to light

As in a new warmth it danced.

 

Basking beneath its glow,

A flower nourished.

Feeling fulfilled, love it bestowed,

Wrapped up in a wish.

 

Its sunshine touched its face,

Reminding it to believe

In extraordinary days

That it could forever keep.

 

Then, one day its sunshine went away,

Replaced by a dark sky.

Its heart ached, and its petals began to fade--

For what is a flower without its sunshine?

A very cool piece, Melinda. We each have our own sunshine and without it, how can we thrive? Excellent read, thank you for sharing!

Hello Mel, a flower without a sunshine will truly wilt, although the thing is it's a flower to begin with and not any other kind, I believe that's enough worth blooming for. I thank you for this super cool poem, EG.

No matter how we get warmth/love (sunshine), dark sky (death) awaits us all. what matters is whether we accept our fate. Are we ready? may our days be long.

Look at the autumn flowers how they wither and fade
With nature`s hidden powers, next year they`ll be re-made

Beautifully quilled with despondency and hope anew combined !

We all need warmth and love to flourish, take it away and it leaves sadness. Nice reflective write. Valentine

how life is about sharing whether directly or indirectly and from one share the sun to a flower in returns shares beauty and pollen to a bee and so on. we are all joined together and all can die from a link being broken. nice work. melinda.

A beautiful and sad poem dear Melinda.
"Then, one day its sunshine went away,
Replaced by a dark sky.
Its heart ached, and its petals began to fade--
For what is a flower without its sunshine?."
The above lines are true. When the sunshine leaved our face. Our heart is broken. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.
