A beautiful flower once found itself,
growing amidst a bunch of weeds,
on a land of stale air,
with pungent smell suffocating…
“How do I live here, ” it said,
When I hail from an enchanting world,
Being away from my base,
In a different negative atmosphere….
Pondering again for a while,
It thought of fighting with full strive,
secreting sweet aromatic essence,
it tried to displace the foul air…
Stronger it remained with its will,
dispersing tranquil serene appeal,
even in diverse conditions of survival,
disseminating in the zephyr fragrance pristine…
The essence and fragrance if beauty are so powerful my friend. Beautiful poem.
Thanks you dear
Oooh.. I so love this one as much as I love the title. And it is so relatable to the real world around us too. The strong willed and determined ones withstand all odds.
Iam happy dear you discover the real gist always!

BEAUTIFUL POEM!!! In a different negative atmosphere:
Love that line. Some times I feel like I left that atmosphere. But I never thought of it as that.
Thank you Jasmine! Glad you got connected to the thoughts
Many times we find ourselves in situations where we struggle to shine. This poem gives hope.
Iam humbled by your words of appreciation
strong…very strong indeed.Great stuff Soumya!
Thank you Raunak!
Yes, a flower is a flower. We must be content to grow where we are planted… Beauty can be found in any place, whether a flower, a poem or a person… Thank you, Soumya. You are one such flower…

yes very much ! for every one of us!
What a lovely flower that must be that seems so fragile yet with a strength of will next to none. I would love to encounter more of them in people
So wonderfully said Joan! yes inded we wish to encounter such people more…
Beautiful as always.
Thank you Prateek!
…But, may I ask you that will this struggle really dispense hope? The real struggle should not be to displace the present status but to remain true to oneself being in the current milieu hmm? Furthermore, from a silly Utopian point view, why I act like I am so superlative in class negating the surroundings as merely weeds, we really want such classifications?
I love the perspective, though
Its not discriminating others like weeds..its about the thought process,the narrow minded ness and the flower always knows wher eit stands,so humbly it accepts and tries to change the atmosphere. Rather than bullying or dominating. But that doesnt delete the fact that other are weeds in comparison to it.
Yes. But, can it really change the atmosphere?
a positive minded soul and determination changes many things…and if every mind think alike,a change is inevitable
we can use that flower as inspiration!
very true Sharmishtha!
Inspiring and Beautiful!! Once again, I am deeply humbled by all I have seen.
Thank you so much for your special words!
