Irises


Green leaves pushing through the soil, like someone gasping for their last breathe

Treats the sun like an addiction, it feels the energy surging through its veins

Thrives on the dewy raindrops, stares up at the clouds waiting for another gulp

 

Bulbs of green spread its fingers, developing new color

Deep blue petals give a high five to neighboring life

Roots held down by weights, strong but delicate

 

Sunny yellow off in the corner

Trying to take over the garden of life

Vicious friends to the deep blue petals

 

Blue and yellow battle

Fight for their addictions

Neither can win

 

Drooping and tired from fighting

Dewy raindrops are no more

Petals facing the ground

 
Next spring they will rise again
