THE FLOWER AND THE MOON


A Flower blossoming in gaiety,

Prides itself of its great beauty

Far away in the sky, so high

Beautiful moon lets out a sigh

Awaits a turn to rebuke the flower;

As sun sets in the approaching hour

For in the night, moon would gleam;

And flower would fade like a dream

The poem on the subtler level is a constant struggle between the ego [flower] and the conscience or the divinity within [ the moon]. As darkness clouds [struggles or problems], its the conscience that gleams, showing us the path rather than the ego which fades away during stress, fear or problems.
