May Day

May Day

Mother Earth cries her tears of pain
She screams for mercy time and again
Man, the hunter, with total ignorance
Cares not for his inherited abundance
No surprise, then, for the torrents of rain
It is May and I echo her sentiment
My own tears flow and I will not relent
Selfishly my pain is not about our Earth
But for my father on the anniversary of his birth
A powerful life force that is now absent
The heavens are open, droplets soon a flood
I stare at the garden, spy a daffodil bud
Pushing through soil, growing ascendant
It strives for the sun upon which it is dependent
To generate her natural green blood
I marvel at the resilience, the strength of the flower
Immediately the torrent reverts to a shower
Is it a sign, a mark of respect?
For a simple man of emotional neglect?
On the rebirth of a parent by heavenly power

And what a wonderful way to look upon the rebirth of a kindred spirit, through the beauty of a flower bud.
I think we see things that we are meant to see, and it is our choice whether negatively or positively to unravel their meanings.
In this case, I believe you have chosen the latter......

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
