A Floral Wisdom

About this poem

These poem reflects on the shallow subconscious of the human nature, which often misses out the truth of condition-less freedom and joy, even when it is all around us. The flowers, are a quintessential example of this. The first para talks about how the flowers move everytime the wind comes, unconditionally. But humans often wait for the good things to happen whereas miss out on them when they actually do. The second para is about a person who's able to comprehend such freedom and wants to bring it down to her own life, like the daffodils. "Late" symbolises the one sided interaction of the poet with the flowers, much like someone deceased or sleeping. The fourth para, is a request from the poet to the shallow minds to not take away this freedom to serve their own personal inquisition. The fifth para says how even "He", God has taught that it's all about how we perceive beauty, but the sheer shallowness doesn't let us. more »
