Resilient Flower

~Deana J. Tavares

The leaves

Frowned

Upon the petals

For falling in love

With the sun

 

Lingering scent

Heated

Amplified sweetness

Toppled

Bitter grasses

All around

Parting the fields

Of discontent

Exact coordinates

Where she

Could be found

 

Lily Of The Valley

Was lost

In thoughts

Of grandeur

Filling her cups

At high velocity

Swaying upon the

Musical winds

Glowing

Luminosity

 

The frigid rains

Gently whispered

Outside her

Crystal balls

Neither hearing

Nor heeding

Their calls

 

Radiating warmth

Essential

For a living

Creature to thrive

Statuesque

And stoic

She

Remained

Alive
