In the dark
Even in the darkest night, there will always be a glimmer of hope.
Bringing life around it hope
And the world around it light
The dark sky blackened the night
And hope continued to disappear into the darkÂ
Yet in the field far far away,
A spot of pink could be seen
Fighting the darkness awayÂ
As we walk closer and closer,
It glows brighter and brighter
The flower stems from the ground
And its wilted, pink petals hang from its branch,
Sweeping the floor, tired from its work
The crumpled dark leaves blend into the night,
Yet the flower continues to shine on
Bringing life around it hope
And the world around it light
Process
This piece was created through a community workshop where we were using Canva to create provocative poetry pieces based off images and/or objects. Using my dried, pressed flower on my desk, I wrote this poem based off its characteristics and emotions that I felt when I looked at it.
