TW: None
Trees rustling in the wind,
as a wind blows through,
harsh, cold, bitter,
it's aim to destroy
The wind rushes through,
attacking anything it touches,
some falling or breaking in it's wake,
however, some stand strong
Flowers litter the ground,
violently shaking in the wind,
as they try to hold their ground,
so they may continue to bloom.
Some fail their quest however,
losing their fight, their petals,
being taken by the wind,
and sent far away
For one flower though.
it stands strong, it succeeds where the others failed,
it keeps its petals,
in beautiful, perfect condition
Soon, the wind subsides,
the flower stands, proud in the seemingly barren field,
its petals on full display,
for everyone to admire
The flower is eternal,
no matter happens to it,
it stands strong,
never losing its petals,
the petals keep their beauty forever
The flower stands,
unaware of the storm that is approaching,
slowly and silently,
like that of a lion stalking it's prey,
but it soon makes its presence known
The wind comes back,
baring it's jaws towards the landscape,
eager to reek havoc once more>
as icy raindrops assist it,
leaving the landscape powerless
The wind attacks the flower,
eager to take its petals as a trophy,
like it did to the others,
the rain attacks the flower as well,
assisting the wind
Yet, the flower stands strong,
it keeps its petals, bright and beautiful,
beautiful as the day they bloomed,
the flower's beauty never once being tarnished
As the storm subsides,
another threat presents itself,
as a person walks through the landscape,
they trample on the flower,
though not intentionally
Yet, the flower remains,
standing strong, like it had against the storm,
it's petals remain, as beautiful as ever<
though the flower has faced many challenges,
it remains strong,
it's beauty remains eternal
