Among a Thousand

June 5, 2014
By Anonymous

One wilting daisy
Lost in a field of roses
And yet no one cares.



One solitary
white scar upon the landscape
and yet no one sees

However lovely,
its beauty goes unseen
amidst the roses

One would never think
to marvel upon a white
and lonely beauty

None would think to search
among a field of roses
for one white flower

And when the daisy
dies, none will grieve, because none
have gazed upon it

None would mourn; for who
would miss a daisy among
a thousand roses?
