Life is a thing of beauty, and of pain.

Life is a thing of beauty, and of pain.

A Poem by JulieNorell
"

The title tells all.

"

Soft, beautiful flower.

Fresh angry rain.

One against the other. Helpless the flower, merciless the rain. Petals fall down, broken and limp. The rain continues. Flooding the life out of the flower. The flower will not live.

But in the end, the rain brings life to a new flower. The flower brings beauty to a cold merciless world.

One life ends, another begins. There is no telling the journey the next flower will take. But there will always be life.

This is a beauty! I love the imagery, and the message that life will go on. I would just maybe break it up a little more, but that is just a suggestion. I do like it how it is!

Soft, beautiful flower,
fresh angry rain,
one against the other;
Helpless the flower,
merciless the rain;
petals fall down,
broken and limp;
the rain continues,
flooding the life out
of the flower;
the flower will not live,
but in the end,
the rain brings life
to a new flower;
the flower brings beauty
to a cold merciless world;
one life ends,
another begins;
there is no telling
the journey
the next flower will take,
but there will always
be life.


Great Write!

It's a kind of sad reflection on life, the flower is beaten down by the elements that surround it, it gives birth before it finally dies, and the circle of life continues.

Well written poetry
