Latter summer fall and winter You stand ordinary |
Come spring, faithfully, you blossom And in pink attire, you beautify |
Inhaling slow and deep I capture your scent Admire your loveliness |
Your stature like a godess Your limbs aloof Your silky petals sacred - too delicate to hold |
Placidly, you flirt Appeasing obviously A savage rain A whirl of biting wind A fleeting existance toppled |
A bed of pink petals Blanket the verdant ground |
I lie down in your remnants |
