Snowdrops

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.
