Lily of the Valley

There's a flower

that grows

in the darkness.

It actually flourishes

in the shade.

 

It blooms in spite

of the darkness

when sunlight

begins to fade.

 

So many reasons

it shouldn't exist.

I wish it’s beauty

could be celebrated

with a smile.

 

As one of

those flowers  

I may as well bloom,

because it’s gonna be

dark for a while.

 

There’s a flower

that grows in darkness.

Notes

Lily of the Valley is said to be biblical.

Legend has it that Lily of the valley

sprang from Eve's tears

when she was exiled

from the Garden of Eden.
