Spirit free flowing with petals unfolding
A symbol of youth surviving at nature’s compelling cycle of life
In a drizzle of snow in between the glimmer of spring
Appearing out slowly with shyness and reservations
Yet failing to hide its beauty by bowing down to the ground
Leaving one for more reason to stare and admire
For its reassuring canvas of whiteness and purity
Creating magic everywhere as one unveils and blooms after another
As winter bids goodbye and gives homage for its grandeurs’ growth
Catching underneath the warmth and sunshine of spring
Ready to hide and vanish with the sight of snow again
For spring’s inspiration is no longer there to count to
Unmindful as to where and when for happiness is found
With grace in the company of another
Like a snowdrop let purity stay as it is and wait
Life will take you where you belong.
Because a promise of love is awaiting to be fulfilled
And find this golden place for you to be together again.
This free verse poetry is dedicated to one of our residents whose favourite flower is snowdrops. I wrote this poem as a promise to her.
