D - Daffodils In The Snow

 

Among the tall mighty trees

Sprout the dainty little Daffodils 

Marking a new beginning 

To yet another end

Again a bright lively spring 

To a prior winter's descend

But just as they had begun to glow

In all their gay and vibrant yellow

Scoffed aloud, the newly sprung

Cherry blossom's Magenta buds that hung

To what great virtue it is

But, to be known, just for a spring's bloom

An arduous voyage in life, after all, only is

The coveted title, that holds till doom

As an endorsement, if at all, to a being's  pride

Thus, the fine little daffodils 

Embarked on an ardent stride

Of making their sojourn a laudable Odyssey 

Scorched they thereafter, in the fiery summer Sun

And washed away, the delicate petals, like in a spree

As the relentless rains happened to take their turn

Even if it all, were to lead to their perish

To be heralded one fine day for their mettle

Was their only muse that they all cherished 

Eventually, one day, came down the snow on the petals

Sliding through the wooden barks of the barren trees around

And gradually, in a shroud of white 

The snow uniformly blanketed the ground

Finally, just as the last Daffodil's petal succumbed

To the nature's might

One last time, it glanced up before it numbed

For that one solemn title's pronouncement

But alas, for the daffodils fancy in vain

As nature knows not, the honor of, any such endorsement 

Or pays any heed to a mortal's disdain
