The Unnoticed Bloom

The Unnoticed Bloom

By: Monica Renata

Today the flowers bloomed

But you didn’t even notice

Their fluorescent smell crossed the meadow

Yet your nose didn’t even notice

They were so beautiful and also bright

But your eyes could not see

You were surrounded by endless beauty

But your heart wouldn’t let you see

To be surrounded by such greatness

But inside filled with grief

Happiness is overshadowed

By the darkness which is inside deep

Deep within your battered soul

Deep within your heart

You can’t see the joy around you

If you house hate in your heart

Good days are bound to happen

And so are bad days as well

But it is up to you to decide

Which days will overwhelm

To hold on to something that brings you down

Makes no sense at all

For if you continue to carry that weight

You will never rise after each fall

Today the flowers bloomed

I wish that you could see

Their fluorescent smell crossed the meadow

I wish you could smell those flowers with me

They were so beautiful and also bright

You would enjoy this sight indeed

To be surrounded by endless beauty

You need to open up your heart and let it see

“Don’t let disappointments in your life get you down. If you hang on to all the negativity in your life, you will never be able to rise above it. Stay positive and know that each day is a new day to do better.” – Monica Renata
