Flowers
In a barren desert
longing to bloom,
there are undying flowers
hoping for surrounding rain
in a second spring.
Overall Impression:
This is a beautifully minimal, symbolic poem. It captures a sense of resilience, hope, and silent endurance. The language is gentle but deep, and it leaves space for interpretation — which is often a strength in poetry.
Interpretive Thoughts:
This feels like a poem about unseen strength — maybe people who wait patiently for their time to bloom, despite being in a harsh place (a metaphor for life situations). There’s a spiritual or existential calmness in the tone. It reminded me of Sinhala free verse poetry in the style of Gunadasa Amarasekara or Mahagama Sekara.
