Zinnia

 

Yellow Zinnia

Brought to life with one seed from

Original plant




After the Storm

 

Nature’s downpour

inundates the ground

soaking the earth

What the storm tries

to wash away, only

hydrates covered

seeds of spring

 

Winds blow clouds

into oblivion after

a time of darkness

to unveil a clean sky

The bright sun can now

reveal itself and warm

the land

 

Slowly growth exposes

crops of color creating

a kaleidoscope of red

yellow, orange and blue

across the countryside

 

What once was hidden

sprouts into reality

as flowers parade

their beauty, rising

up one by one

They awaken hope

with a fresh start
