Writing about life: A beautiful flower ----------------------------- Growing in a garden A garden of light yet darkness Harmful yet helpful Neutral yet dangerous A seed is planted A seed of wonder yet innocence Innocence that blinds them from reality Every passing moment Every year Every month Every day Every second is a new wonder to come The seed grows but... How about its innocence Innocence so fragile yet scary But all is part of life The seed grows more 13 Growing a petal or a leaf As it grows innocence disappears slowly Learning reality from opened eyes Eyes that have seen life for what it was Not what it wasn’t The seed grows more In time it becomes beautiful Beautiful like the stars in the sky Yet it only becomes beautiful from its obstacles Surviving the hot sun The winters and rainy days All made the flower what it is today
