What a bud will understand <br />one day she has to blossom <br />a beetle will flutter about her <br />to sip her nectar of life <br /> <br />Her beauty will enamor the world <br />she does not know <br />one day her petal will wilt <br /> <br />She does not know if one day <br />she will be plucked by the gardener <br />n will be sold in few coins <br /> <br />She does not know if she will be <br />made captive under hair lock of any beauty <br /> <br />She does not know if she will be <br />offered on any corpse <br /> <br />She does not know if she will be <br />a garland of any conqueror <br />who has conquered all evils of life <br /> <br />She does not know if she will be <br />made an offering to any God <br /> <br />She does not know if one day <br />her color will be fade <br /> <br />She does not know if she will be <br />smiling to see the children <br />playing in the garden <br />kissing her face <br /> <br />She does not know if she will be <br />trampled by any demon or <br />by any innocent pedestrian <br /> <br />Her dilemma will end with her life.<br /><br />ramesh rai<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dilemma-of-flower/
