THE FLOWER

Delicate petals, softly coloured so fragile yet so hearty,

Swaying headily in the westwind, refusing to get uprooted or blight,

Holding the cool dew drops, with the piousness of its untouched stalk,

The shivering roots holding onto the soil with their dainty strand,

 Preserving its embellished beauty against all odds,

Holding on to life with its sanctity n charm,

Nurtured by Mother Nature, bearing her vagaries with calm,

 

Alone in the vastness of the sun baked parched desert,

With sand dunes rising higher and higher,

Threatening to engulf the solitary strength of its delicate opponent,

With its head held high, bearing the atrocities of the vicissitude of adverse times,

Its delicate beauty stays unwavered, unbeaten and yet victorious,

 

Oh! you the destroyer of all that is so pious, so fragile so beautiful,

Can't you let the dainty and delicate flower ,

of love, beauty and purity,

Just be, just be, just be.......
