A dark, clouded sky, no end in sight
Turned the morn, into an ebon night
Piles of sand, lay wasted on the beach
The ocean’s tide, was too far to reach
If it was there, I could no longer tell
As again, the clouds, began to swell
I watched, as emptiness, the cause
Brought attention, what’s this? (I paused)
There in the middle of nothingness
Amidst this plain, in mere ruggedness
Stood a flower, so dainty and eloquent
I could smell its fragrance, so redolent
I knew all hope had not been taken
And I, for one, had not been forsaken
Through the hours, and total madness
I truly hadn’t felt despair, nor sadness
Those petals, my reminder, to persevere
The darkness will always, eventually, clear
