Inside of us
A flower grows
Filled with scents
untold
Fragrances inside
our souls
Releasing as we grow
old

When young
At the height of
life
Casting our petals
along the shore
Our purpose is in
the heart
Waiting to unfold

Like a flower
Opening in the moonlight
Casting it's fragrances in
the winds
Leaving our essences
everywhere

Each soul holds
the truth
of it's life
Like the scent of a flower
In the garden bed at night
Our scent flows through
this life

Getting older
we wither and die
As a flower on the vine
Our scent floats away
in the night sky
Guiding us to heavens door
Where we are reborn
once more
The scent of the soul flower
Lives on all the more
Inside the garden
of  graceful heavens home.
