Tulip

A bulb representing an idea;

The only light in a dark room.

Beautiful to those longing,

Treasure to the living,

But worthless to the dead.

The only light in a dark room.

Flowering as storms set on the mind;

Never lost to sentiment.

Something so powerful it’s unbelievable,

A bulb representing an idea.

The livelihood of many,

Life’s work and dreams bundled.

A bulb representing an idea.

Something one prays never to lose,

The only light in a dark room.

A bulb representing an idea;

Hinting at something much greater.

The only light in a dark room,

For that’s what the mind is.

Timeless though belonging to mortals

So powerful yet it can’t be utilized,

Born, but not from a woman.

So curious these things are,

The only light in a dark room

A bulb representing an idea.
