A Field Of Flowers
October 2, 2020
Flowers sway softly in the wind
Without a care, in the world.
A field of green, blue, and pink.
A blue, sunny sky.
A breathtaking place.
Yet, the land remembers.
'tis gravely scarred.
Holes marking its once smooth landscape.
Bombs, lying dormant beneath.
A brutal history, hidden by colors.
Flowers prosper, bringing joy to the children nearby.
Masking the wounds, caused by war.
The flowers grow, vibrant with color.
Impervious, as to how the ground beneath had been fertilized so.
If only, man had not been so intent on destroying their foe.
