So...This started out as one image in my mind, but chaged about 3 times as I wrote.
Here it is, for what it's worth. Comments are all appreciated.
Grave Flower
You lay there clinging to dirt
Like you could resurrect the earth
Grave flower so pretty
The sky looks down with pity
Wishes to wash you clean
But will you never cease to be
Grave Flower?
Could you never see the end
To your will the universe should bend
Time and season
Rhyme and reason
Bring it back upon a scream
Hot tears from eyes that beam
Grave Flower
Will these tears nourish the soil?
Your lifeless roots begin to coil?
The sky part, flooding sunlight?
Lifted face, lips smile so bright?
But crimson peddles cast a shadow
There’s no meaning, life is shallow
Grave Flower
Forsake this vanity
Cling to eternity
We will see you in the sun
Your mortal tangles now are done
Live on and on in new life
We will join you in our own time
Grave Flower
