Bloom Where You are Planted

It's amazing how nature could inspire us in ways we never thought was possible. 
   Today was an ordinary day when I chanced upon the sight of this wonder....
A tiny flower -- from nowhere --
sprung from our old concrete water tank..
    
A closer look revealed that nothing much holds it
except for some dried moss
which never gets moist
unless it rains.

Four feet above the ground, upon a solid concrete structure
of the abandoned water tank..
the beautiful flower has found its space in this big wide world...
There it thrived.  There it clung.
There it flourished.
There it sprang.

 
The tiny plant blossomed, mindless of its circumstance
It was meant to be like that
A beautiful plant.
It exists.
And the world is so much happier.

   
If we could be like this tiny plant.. 
If we could just bloom where we are planted
Unmindful of the gloom,
of bereft circumstance
that makes thriving survival less ideal,
then perhaps this world
would become so much better.
We'd definitely be seeing a happier,
stronger, saner reason
to exist live,
and remain.
