Life is day
And death the night
Light and dark's
Eternal strife
Soon it comes
That moonless night
Adieu Adieu
Oh flower!

I love the way you connect the beauty and light of a flower to the light force of the whole Universe. A beautiful and enigmatic one, thanks for sharing, Sonya. Yelena M.
This lyrical little poem is mysterious, beautiful and has mystical aura of déjà vu - all in so few words - a marvellous feat! S :)
A very delicate piece Sonya....which gently reminds us of life's eternal strife...
Fragile, lyric beauty. The fall of even one flower diminishes the earth. Very touching. Love, SandraX

Surprise ending Sonya - - and what a wonderful discovery to find this tender and lyrical poem is a tribute to the humble flower.... without which this earth would be a far darker place - - thank you..; ..10 + + + Fay
Your final line is as astonishing as it is brilliant. Those two words turn the poem from something very competent into something sublime. I am impressed. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
