Flowers
I walked in an open field
The sun was shining down
Warming my face-
Our faces, actually
We were walking, hand in hand
We were talking, side by side
Eternity could be spent with you
And smelling pretty flowers
Deep as the scent of blood
And I forget, for just a moment
That mortality isn’t just a ‘gift’
It’s equally a curse.
So I let seeds lift
Into roots,
Into flowers
And turn our eternal love,
Your mortal life,
Into flowers.
