The darkness of Sunshine

Exploring something new with this poem. Any critique of this vers libre is welcome.

The darkness of Sunshine

Once there was a white rose,
They called her Sunshine,
Reflected the day's glow around,
Said she was a creation fine

She sang, danced, laughed
In the wind; Little did they see,
Inside Sunshine there was darkness,
Which beneath her glow she hid

One day a bee found Sunshine,
She opened up to the bee
He sang, danced and played with her,
Wished he'd set her darkness free

But Sunshine was daunted,
Held on to her darkness tight
Fragile, she felt without it,
Thought darkness gave her might

She drew herself deeper into darkness,
And pushed away the bee
But such was the darkness,
Potent, that it stayed on with the bee

-Gowrish
