Yearning For The Sun *I watched my frail table rose plant show immense resilience as it bloomed out a few bright flowers after months of hibernation. I took some photographs and that inspired my first attempt at poetry. Here we go!* I perched on the edge of the balcony The sun, wind, and rain wrapping me Peeking out beyond, so frail and fragile Waiting for the time to show my smile I struggled hard in the depleted soil To bloom out a flower I daily toiled My nourishment so bleak and very meager But to please the sun I was eager
As the blazing summer eased away I knew this would be my glorious day I sucked all I got and spread out my best Soon a bud was born during my nocturnal rest
Would it die or live I wasn't so sure Would it have the strength to truly endure The sun's bright light and the warmth I yearned To bloom out a flower and not be burned The breath of life coursed through my stems And poured out colors to the buds weak hems At the break of dawn, the magic begun As she opened shyly to the glowing sun
The sun seemed to look and burst forth with love And joyously she lifted her gaze above Blinded at first, then amazed with awe Filled with grace and beauty so raw Hope was high on that balcony wall And joy was bright on the edge so tall Love spread wide in the breeze that morn As for a day, her glory shone

I really admire your photography skills. Loved those pictures, specially the sky shot. ❤️
Both Read and Noise have inspired me to try and shoot good pictures. I like building a story around the photographs. This is the first time I have tried a poem!
And I love this
