I Stand Near the Flower
I stand near the flower
her soul soothing fragrance
I admire her from the side
of my eye
I feel the warmth of the sun
radiate from her silken petals
the soil stampedes to be used by her
the clouds rush in to catch a glimpse of her
so vivid she inspires them to weep at her beauty
and she absorbs their graceful offering
with gratitude and nonchalance
I stand near the flower
a smile on my face
mindful if I show her the hunger in my eyes
she may cease to bloom
