"a flower grows"

* * *

 

A flower grows

Amid stone walls.

A flower grows

In cement walls.

 

It does not see

The gray concrete.

It does not notice

The cruel rocks.

 

The shining light

Is oh-so-high!

The sheen-white clouds

Are oh-so-nigh!

 

The flower stretches

Ever forth.

Out of the trenches

Ever strains -

 

Away, away

From fated cairns.
