The Rose and the Cloud
In the drying sand
On the firing land
Where the rays of the sun
Makes everything crumble and burn
There leaved a little rose
Who was from dying so close
As her struggle increased
As everyone thought she was diseased
She stood up and raised
But from within silently she cried
She couldn’t resist the drought
And she started to doubt
Her existence as her petals dropped
For a saving soul she hopped
As the days passed by
As her stems & roots started to dry
She couldn’t resist she couldn’t try
Suddenly a shadow appeared
With her weakened body she peaked
To find that was the cloud she seeked
Even though she was tired
Her leaves from the hotness were fired
She shouted & should with a little bit of hop
That her thirsty voice could reach the cloud on top
And some rain upon her would drop
But the snobby cloud
Ignored the sound
Telling the dying soul
To wait until he finishes his patrol
Promising her that he would answer her call
As the shadows of the could moves
She started to fall
With her last breath into the ground she rolls
As the rose binds with the ground
The cloud came seeking for the sound
A dirty petal he found
I’m back he shouted out loud
A reply he didn’t hear back from that sound
As much water as he could he dropped
Until the desert drowned
He cried & cried
Cause that soul couldn’t come back whatever he tried
And from that place with guilt he fled
So to those we love
In our life the precious souls around us we have
If we can’t share their sadness
Only there to show off on their happiness
Yeah in the time of necessity when they’re alive
If we couldn’t help them from their wreck to thrive
Deep into their pain to help if we didn’t dive
Kindness and hope if we didn’t give
Who are we to cry as their souls leave
