There.
There it stands in
A sun-soaked poise.
Radiating feelings of joy
And gaiety heart.

This – This flower
So pithy in stature
And so robust
In strength. Firmly
Holding root in a soil
Of thorns and stone.

Yet, reverently it
Resists – defending with
Light. Even the darkest
Dearth of life cannot
Extinguish its message:
Beauty.

There it stands and
There it grows. Giving
To viewers, galvanizing
All.

Never faltering.
Never yielding.
Glowing on and on.
