Solitary Flower

(Aug. 20, 2008)

The sun was up and very bright
The sky was blue, it was just right
The meadow was vast and oh so green
The breeze was cool, twas so serene

The trees felt good, they danced with glee
But there i stood, alone and free
I am a sunflower with petals of gold
with a heart so innocent, pure and bold

Sadly, i didn't realize the beauty around me 
For i knew that my heart wasn't happy
The colors of green were like black and white
The day's blue sky seemed like the night

But then my sadness suddenly faded
And yes, my heart was also invaded
When towards me, a beautiful creature was walking
A tall young man with a face so appealing

He looked at me with his delicate eyes
And he picked me off the ground to my surprise
At that very moment i felt so ecstatic
I didn't know what to do but i knew i shouldn't panic

He carefully placed me beside him in his car
I didn't care though we traveled so far
For being with him was amazingly enchanting
Feeling like a human, it was all so breathtaking

Unexpectedly, the car came to a stop
And we were in front of a beauty shop
He gently picked me up and brought me inside
Then there i saw a beautiful bride

She looked straight at me and smiled
But still my mind was going wild
For she was as beautiful as Helen of Troy
She could trully make a man out of a boy

He handed me to her in a romantic way
And then my world turned back to gray
I thought i found my special someone
I was wrong, and all my hope was gone

She thanked him and then placed me in a colorful vase 
And i watched the most painful scene came into place
He held her and kissed her on the lips lovingly
And tears came rolling down my eyes of misery

I suffered the pain and tried to conquer it all
And then i realized that my leaves started to fall
Yes, it was the end of my life as a flower
And still i thank God for i saw Love's power
