pink blossom drops
in still morning air
beside a quiet lake.

pink blossom drops
in still morning air
beside a quiet lake.

sunup hour:
yellow blossoms turn gold;
one flutters to earth.

The modest Rose puts forth a thorn,
The humble Sheep a threat’ning horn;
While the Lilly white shall in Love delight,
Nor a thorn, nor a threat, stain her beauty bright.

a bloom falls to earth;
lit up by the morning sun,
it glows… for a time.

the cannonball tree:
blooms bright & intricate,
but never delicate.
