The flower glistens in the morning dew,
With the rays of sunlight shining through
The clouds filled with sorrow and pain.
That disappear with each drop of rain.

The flower starts to wither into desecration,
Like my blackened heart with it's unused passion.
The wilted petals fall gracefully onto the ground
Without a sound upon the newly dug mound.

The petals then scatter with the blowing breeze
That takes them away never to again be seen.
The life that held the flower dear is no more,
Because the rays of sunlight only shine for

Weathering the Storm

The flower glistens in the morning dew,
With the rays of sunlight shining through
The clouds filled with sorrow and pain.
That disappear with each drop of rain.

The flower starts to wither into desecration,
Like my blackened heart with it's unused passion.
The wilted petals fall gracefully onto the ground
Without a sound upon the newly dug mound.

The petals then scatter with the blowing breeze
That takes them away never to again be seen.
The life that held the flower dear is no more,
Because the rays of sunlight only shine for

Those able to weather the storm.

I like the rhyme in this poem.
I'm not sure what else to say as I am speechless.
This is so.... what's the word I'm looking for.... melancholy yet satisfying. If this poem were a sandwich, I'd be full off of it for the rest of the day.
Good job, essentially9!

Didn't think I could cry over a flower..
Wanting to stand strong against the storm wanting to grow and express it's love to all but is torn and shaken not able to survive... wow..

Wow! I'm just totally taken back by the end of the first stanza above all things! I was just awestruck by it, because it sounds so poetic and is just genius:

The clouds filled with sorrow and pain.
That disappear with each drop of rain.

Brilliant, just absolutely brilliant. The last line too, which is so true, and a concept that I love to play with at times, but probably doesnt come out in the same strength and manner as your write here. Well done
