| 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 |
