Fallen flower
By Rachel Y
Published 6 August 2024
The icy cold air
Spares no flowers.
A dusty puff of steam
Rips apart its roots,
Flying away from its home.
Far from where it was grown,
The golden bloom turns a tune,
Falling to the ground
With a large frown.
Fragile, Frail and Fearful
The frightened flower stands no more,
Shredded to the ground
Back where it was bound,
Starting all over again.
Where growth goes destruction follows,
Nature doesn't give up, nor does the ruin.
