HERE LIES, A FLOWER
THERE ONCE WAS A SEED
PLANTED BY STRANGERS
SO THEY MET
THE FLOWER GROWS
UNTIL IT ROOTS
ITS EARLY LIFE IN SPRING IS ITS MOST RICH
IN THE SUMMER IT DEEPENS
Come Fall It Starts To Fall ILL
It Fights To Stay Strong
But The Strangers No Longer Care
They Want To Plant New Seeds
Of A Different Kind
Or Tend To Flowers From Their Past
As winter begins they think of it now, and again. Remembering pain.
As it progresses it wilts more and more
As it wilts the pain softens.
Beginning to crumble at the touch
until it is no more
nothing but remains
to become a part of the ground
deeper underground
HERE LIES, A FLOWER
WHO WILL RISE AGAIN
BY TWO STRANGERS
