The Pink Sun
By Roopa, age 16, California
Winter's snowdrops melt away,down wilted petals, a gentle slide.
The burning sun slowly rises over the shadows.
Lilac butterflies and blossoms thrive
and the pink sun unfolds wide.
Winter's snowdrops melt away.
Fresh daisies and tulips blossom alive,
larks emerge from within trees, bright-eyed.
The burning sun slowly rises over the shadows.
Bees and coral blossoms strive
to be revitalized by the blazing sun outside.
Winter's snowdrops melt away.
Birds croon to the sun to revive
the flowers that have almost died.
The burning sun slowly rises over the shadows.
Earth will survive
the icy glare, too many tears Life has cried.
Winter's snowdrops melt away.
The burning sun slowly rises over the shadows.
