A flower's Funeral

Born in an eternal garden

was a flower so gorgeous and hidden

from the threat of those unbidden

By the shine of the sun the flower

would enjoy the bright shower

would fill the shine through all it's vein

but then overshadowed by cruel darkness

of a bee that stung so deep, heartless

into the flower so flawless

and sucked all nectar of sweetness

flumping on petals of softness

And left the flower with pollen on it

Unwilling or you all may say it as fulfilling

was forced to be a mother with choice no other

Gave birth to a flower before it withered

the new born was a bud so small

about this world knew nothing at all

hid it's petals from those heartless

yet could it really be safe from the hideous darkness?
