escape the fear,
escape the fate.
run with all your might,
but your already too late.
fall in love,
fall in hate.
it's up to you,
but moment won't wait.
go to heaven,
go to hell.
time stands still,
but only time can tell.
believe in yourself,
follow the crowd.
speak with your heart,
let it sing loud.

It bloomed and dropt, a Single Noon—
The Flower—distinct and Red—
I, passing, thought another Noon
Another in its stead

Will equal glow, and thought no More
But came another Day
To find the Species disappeared—
The Same Locality—

The Sun in place—no other fraud
On Nature’s perfect Sum—
Had I but lingered Yesterday—
Was my retrieveless blame—

Much Flowers of this and further Zones
Have perished in my Hands
For seeking its Resemblance—
But unapproached it stands—

The single Flower of the Earth
That I, in passing by
Unconscious was—Great Nature’s Face
Passed infinite by Me—
