Deserted But Destined
A seed was cast where no one tread,
Where barren lips once whispered dead.
Yet still it clung, yet still it grew,
A rebel crowned in drops of dew.
A crack in stone, a sliver wide,
Where light and fate at last collide.
No hands to tend, no voice to cheer,
Yet roots defy the dust of fear.
And when at last its petals rise,
A bloom ignites in silent cries.
For though deserted, left unseen,
Its fate was set—to reign in green.
Where barren lips once whispered dead.
Yet still it clung, yet still it grew,
A rebel crowned in drops of dew.
A crack in stone, a sliver wide,
Where light and fate at last collide.
No hands to tend, no voice to cheer,
Yet roots defy the dust of fear.
And when at last its petals rise,
A bloom ignites in silent cries.
For though deserted, left unseen,
Its fate was set—to reign in green.
