LIFE GOES ON




The flower; crushed between two hard surfaces,
will inevitably secrete the powerful scent of defeat from
within. will it be hurtful? yes. but the experience
will fail to undermine the entity of survival. For
the soil will strive to be quenched; thus will a
failing individual, body and soul.
the ability to regenerate, rejuvinate, and revive
itself lies in the core, in the seed that is not
harmed. enveloped in the rich soil of hope and faith,
life does go on. the seed will sprout and strive to
the top; it will develop and flourish through rocks
and weeds in the way, the seed will mature into
luxuriation.
possibly the flower did not have the fortitude to
continue growing,to imbibe through living; to believe
and survive. supposedly, the flower needed to be
crushed; the ego wounded. Will it fail to defend or
fight back? it will. but it will rise again,
undoubtedly, to discover and acknowledge the beauty
within the dark soil, where waters of strength can
quench the thirst for striving. to thrive beyond any
limits becomes the goal, to be humbled and let be
watered from above, will be the lesson. The seed will
endeavor then sprout, and will continue to grow
forever.
