When the honey drips from the most gentle petal
the color changing from pink to gold
I'll cherish the image in my mind
until the dreams start to unfold
for such an image is sweet to me
but also holds such pain
a longing to be free and blessed
but washed away by rain
I sit watching the honey spill
into the lifeless ground it seeps
wasted on this bitch of an earth
no rewards will it reap
so I hold onto my memory
I won't let that nectar slip away
and hold with me that wilting flower
in hope it blooms again some day
