The Flowers Will Die Soon EnoughA Poem by theluxHello again! I haven't been on much lately, but now that I'm back, I have deleted all of my previous works because I hate the gloomy tone. Here's one of my sister's favorites. Cheers to a fresh start.
Everything is about nature
At least, everything that get's recognized Everything that's held in the hands of publishers That people can't clap enough for Made it to front cover Written in big fat print Go outside and write about a daisy With its simplistic white petals and yellow core Write about the bee that landed on its stem With stripes in shades of "coal" and "lion's fur" Every word must be about the mountains' looming heights or the shades of the sunset What about the sounds? What about the feelings? What about the scents? The emotions? The tastes? What about... The mind? Oh, there are so many things to write about yet no one writes about the mind! What a shame. What no one realizes, or at least, doesn't want to realize Is that the flowers will drop when winter comes along The bees will be gone as well after their first victim The grass' green will dull as soon as the snow starts to fall And the sun will be out of sight once the moon is shining But the mind is up and running Mine runs so fast, I can't keep up The mind is always thinking Scheming Deciding Plotting Even at 3:30 AM With a disintegrating journal A pen nearly out of ink Heavy eyes And an idea as bright as the glow from the lamp light
