When it all began
You were so vibrant and colourful
Bright greens and blinding yellows
You stood so majestic
Facing the shinning sun
Within months you began to whither
All your flowers faded away
The old leaves slowly died
Before long new life began
No longer did you bloom
But green leaves grew firm
They stood as if they always were
After long I forgot
The flowers that once were
All I knew were the striving leaves
Then summer came
The months of harvest
But all you did was die
You were burnt out
All the green changed to brown
No amount of water could bring you back
I soon gave up
Watered you only in passing
Paid no attention to your development
The greens slowly returned
And with them came the flowers
Flowers I had not seen since 2019
Flowers that are brighter than I remembered
Flowers that defy the cold dark winter
Flowers amongst the dead things.
Thank you for reading.
