The lonely daffodil

the sunshine and the zephyr

imbued with a sweet scent

cascades gushing with water

and the fields flooded with green paint

the monotone of my footsteps

and the maiden in my memories

the merriment of the gypsies

and the hymns of the untold stories

I reach the acropolis swarming

with flowers that swayed with pride

but on a barren lonesome hill

a little daffodil stood alone aside

one little daffodil on a barren hilltop

with a few leaves to shed

and fewer petals to fall

I asked him ‘dear daffodil

Why you stand alone when rest

dance together with joy and glee?

Is it your vanity to stand by yourself?

which hinders you to join this spree

daffodil told me

‘just like the sun has to walk alone leaving

the company of stars and the moon

to spread light all over the world

I have to stay here and bloom

till I die for then I can

scatter my seeds on this bleak mound

to make it green once again ’
