Take the flower
from the garden
twist the stem
it will bleed bitter sap
a single perfumed
tear
will stain one leaf
Conscripted
To      blossom
                                 a    w   a     y

she will hold her carbon dioxide
Breath
And scorn a blessed sun
Petals dry an elegant
Death
    
         Beauty
Wilts
           In
                                      
                                     isolation
I find that God has planted much truth and wisdom in nature for us to understand.
