Flowers Weep
Flowers Weep
by: Merrick Zann
a/n: this is a little thing that i\'ve written, rewritten, and tried to expand upon on and off for the past five years. I\'m sorry to say that it is impossibly short so you must bare with me. it is not based on anything that has happened to me personally but I believe that it holds some place in all our hearts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dawn\'s rays crept on the ruins of the once great city of Haven revealing the dark signs of the carnage that had broken the night before. The light moved mercilessly over the outer parts of the city, slowly working it\'s way across. As it neared the center of the city, the light spilles into a cleaing surrounded on all sides by the skeletons of skyscrapers. In this clearing was a park that had been miraculously untouched. There in the middle of the park amidst lillies and daffodils that were drenched in morning dew lay a sleeping boy of barely eight next to his dying mother. Light shone upon his face rousing him from his troubled sleep. He sat up and looked around sleepily taking in his environment. As he turned to his mother his eyes drew on a sight that confused him. A dewdrop had traveled from within the folds of a milky white lilly and fell from a petal.
\"Mother?\" the little boy asked, \"Why are the flowers weeping?\"
She smiled weakly at the innocence of her son. \"They are weeping, my son, because the Earth is sad. For the Earth must carry the burden of all the people in the world. It alone has the strength to live through all the sorrow and hate we spread throughout It. Yet even with all of It\'s strength It too must weep.\" at this she paused, taking a labored breath, \"They weep for the souls of the men and women who died defending the Earth. They weep for what the future holds if It\'s people continue down this path. They weep for mee, my son. They weep for you.\" With these final words she let go of her fragile hold on life, and passed away into the next.
\"Mother?\" he questioned, \"What does that mean Mother? I... I don\'t understand.\"
\"Mother!?\"
\"MOTHER!\"
