In the middle of the ocean,
A beautiful flower floats.
With bright red petals,
Fresher than ever felt before…
...
Well, today for most of the day,
I scrambled,
To scribble a wish to the heavens in your name.
I wrote the first sketch,
...
"bye…."
He said tearfully
I gave no response
But a naughty wave
...
Sometimes I stare in wonder
Just how everything
Came to be something.
And there is just one answer…
...
The same point
East to west, north to south
They move… to and from
Never settling.
...
I like you, not for what you are
Rather for who I am
When am around you.
I have freedom as of a bird
...
The Ocean Flower
In the middle of the ocean,
A beautiful flower floats.
With bright red petals,
Fresher than ever felt before…
Yes, reflecting God's true beauty.
But just swayed by,
By the waves…
The weak and strong alike,
Because there are no roots or branches to hold onto.
East, west, South and centre,
Its pushed by the wind…
No home to run to,
Nor refuge to seek.
Learning everything from experience,
Petals wildly plucked by the passing boats,
Trampled on by the snowy rain,
Its fragility raped by the never ending storms.
Never arriving at the shore….
but wandering forever!
Yet the flower lives on.
With scratches all over the petals,
Broken pieces of even the youngest sepals,
Crushed ovaries…
But intact ovules,
Is the hope filled flower.
So dear
So tender
So beautiful
Yet ragged, scared, abused, broken and alone!
But never dies…
Rather lives on and on, merrily.
With unwavering hope for better days to come.
Was solo singing on my own, Now I can't find a key without you...
