Stripping Daisies

A dainty daisy stands firmly

Rooting herself to the ground she stands

Swaying freely and gracefully

Unwavering to the tempest beyond

Rolling up an immense storm

Undeterred by the tragedy about to strike.


The outpour begets demise

Another falls after the other

Ripping and tearing the leaves

Of the only swaying daisy

Who,

even at the mercy of the wind

Shines brilliantly through her petals


The wind continues to howl a tenacious roar

Every leaf and petal had been stripped away

Leaving nothing left but her core

The essence of her being

An apetalous design without cosmetics

Until even her roots soon gave up


Though her existence was brief

She still bore fruits

And bedazzled people with her striking look

It was not the meaning she searched

Or death she feared

She lived to the fullest as tomorrow was never clear.
