A Flower Blooms

A flower blooms out of pain, not in ecstasy.
When it is dusty all around, the earth is dead dried,
yellow keeps grasping the emerald.

Surrounded by the moribund leaves a flower blooms-
in that disarranged weather of anguish.

It heaves out vivacious lot of colors
from a hidden corner of the dehydrated soil.
It preserves a calm trait for you even in this harsh air.
It protects the vibrant red from the flaming sun of late winter.
Not in bliss, however, a flower blooms with those agonies.

That persistent desire for blooming of a flower causes
the sky melt once in the month of Phagun.
When the flower persuades to put fire in the sky
Bringing out their inner struggles to the world,
at that intense call even the dead gets a life.

A vibrant zest comes to the dying souls
in return of a flower's pain of blooming, a quid pro quo.
If you consider blooming of a flower is all about ecstasy
witnessing the ocean of happiness today
then you might be wrong.

No flower blooms just for the sake of luxury.
A flower blooms out of pain, so that in ecstasy
you can dance in the spring festivity.

The act, blooming of a flower, itself is an incredible rebel.
Without acknowledging a rebellious hail  
would you say- 'Oh! I love flowers?' Would you?
Would you gift a bucket of flowers at a lavish party?
