The Daisy

by caroline-ward

I sat in the centre of the earth Without a care in the world I sat alone on the grass so green With the sky so blue But, in the distance, thunder rolled The grass browned the sky darkened And then I saw it A small, white daisy So delicate, so full of hope But then The fool I am, and the fool I will stay Picked it Broke the bond Destroyed the hope And as the daisy slowly wilted I looked around, opened my eyes With the gate of hell upon my back And saw a new daisy begin to grow As for every hell there is a heaven For every lock there is a key And as my soul drifted away I thought and dreamt of hope Of innocence And the daisy
