Excellence Award in the 'Dream Big 2013' competition

The darkness sets,
It can not be turned flipped nor folded,
But what it does is it can be moulded,
A glass that shattered an incomplete puzzle,

Two sides torn in one world one body,
No redemption no hate and no hope in a world of rubble,
In a world where nothing but power,
It blooms a single flower,

Crushed turned and flipped,
A flower that does not yield nor give into the whip,
It spreads and grows until it has wings,
It flies not near the sun or the water,

In perfect air no sudden motion,
Withers and dies,
No longer flies,
But yet blooms another single flower.
