“Not even the darkest night has ever managed to prevent a single flower from blooming again.”
Beneath a sky of endless blue,
black branches cross the void,
like wounds of time and weariness
upon an immense and relentless silence.
Yet within every shadow a small sun blooms,
a fire of life and hope;
the flower always resists change
and turns pain into a new dream.
The oranges burn like stars
defying human sorrow,
igniting the night amid flashes of light.
Darkness grows ever more distant
when life leaves its traces
upon each fragile and tender branch.
Thus the work proclaims in its own language
that even in a broken and decadent world,
creation rises once more
with its impossible garden and its courage.
For though man may clothe
the paths of the soul and history in bitterness,
there will always be a flower proclaiming glory
from within shadow, time, and the thicket.
