Hello Beautiful,
What do you see?
Do you see all the beauty in me?
Can you tell,
My life is great?
That there is nobody I can hate?
Goodbye Beautiful,
I saw what you see.
I saw that you can see the beauty in me.

I start out as a small seed, pushed deeply underground,
then I am a sprout, small and happy.

I grow leaves and am bright and happy,
I have a head, small and green.

Then....
I burst through the green and reach for the sun!

The sun is beautiful, and I am a sun too,
But I am waiting for the moon. It is beautiful also.

I become the sun of the night,
And the second sun of the day.

I keep growing, and it becomes hard to look at the sun,
my head heavy with pedals, and seeds of my own.

Staring at the ground that I came from, and I drop my seeds.
And I start again, as a small seed, pushed deeply underground.

Empty
is     the
broken and frayed

sun      in      her     eyes
Like a empty cloudless sky
And  now  gone,  here  she  lies.

Disappearing with her own never lasting wind.
