An upside down daisy
The roots were the bloom
The colors in the ground
The people marveled at the growth
The scientists made theories
The religious said it was a sign
The tourists came and went
The artists were inspired
By this little flower in the ground
One day the speculation ended
Something new and different happened
They were tired of the flower
The flower grew sad
Wilting within the dirt
Until one day
A little boy came
With innocent eyes
And a tiny hand outstretched
He reached toward this little flower
The one that had begin to wilt
The one that was different
The one that was peculiar
And he took the flower into his arms
And instead of speculating
Or staring or taking pictures
He gave the flower love.
The little flower glowed with happiness
And with that she shot towards the sky
The roots growing and growing
Until they were higher than any skyscraper
His words had built her up
And didn't tear her down like the others
Everyday the boy would visit the flower
As he got older, he became wiser
And one day he came to the flower
He knelt beside her and looked up at the glory that was her's
And was amazed at the beauty she became because of his love
That night he fell asleep besides her.
That morning the world awoke
And found two of the flowers side by side
Their roots reaching up and twisting together
Into the shape of love
The world once again speculated
and then went on with life.
