Wondering alone in a desert
Feeling empty and dry
I came upon a beautiful flower
I paused and I cried
Why such a precious gift
How does pleasure and delight grow
In the desert sand, cracked and worn
I speculate, but I do not know
My world had been dispirited
Left shattered and broken
Rubble lay at my feet
When hope was softly spoken
A whisper in the winter
A promise of spring
Warm and wonderful
Causing my heart again to sing

Lovely, enough said
I think we can all relate to that. Wonderful metaphor, and beautiful wordflow. I have really enjoyed your uplifting poem.

Great
I like this poem. It speaks out like a metaaphor to me. It does question me about flowers and about their existance. Great job! -
yes that again is a bit of a speed breaker in the flow but i loved the metaphor in this one Though I even like it without the metaphor for here in the desert it is spring, a beautiful time, your poem made me wonder why the flowers bloom where no one will ever see them maybe will lead to a poem who knows thanks for the inspiration.

I dont know if it would sound better to say "once again" or just leave it as again, but I really liked this, because the simpilest things will be the ones that hit you the hardest. Just like a beautiful flower.
