Flower.

Goldfinch60



I know I can do it,

I have the strength,

I can push through the darkness.

I make it I am free,

Up into the world I rise.

My head still covered

But the light is above me,

And soon I will see it.

The cover on my head splits,

My petals unfurl.

I look up at the beauty,

The beauty of the world around me,

Knowing that my bloom

Will stir the passion,

The passion in the heart of people,

And my life will be fulfilled.

    A fine write Gold. You blooming now? Or you bloomed by now?

    • Goldfinch60

      Blooming, I got out of bed this morning so all is fine with the world.

    • dusk arising

      Yes, but could you stand being interfered with by a bee?

      And there i was, Mr Goldfinch, thinking you were a bird (feathered type). A product of an egg not a bulb, or did you go to seed?

      Your words could be interpreted to describe coming out of a depression.

      • Goldfinch60

        It is entirely up to the reader how it should be interpreted as long as they come into the light at the end.

        Have you ever heard David Sanborn, I came across him a few days ago. Try this

            Oops , yes I remember now, getting old.

            Ah - a lovely personification to set up my day dear Goldy - - what could be better to see than an early crocus of daffy and who would not want to be that beautiful unfolding Spring flower.

            • Goldfinch60

              Thank you Fay, the beauty of Spring is unfolding before our eyes.

                  Lovely write - and so the flower produces seed and life's cycle continues.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    So true, the circle of life is never ending.
