I feel the bushes green all around The light feeds my sensation with care The last remorse has left me in doubt But I clear the picture of its follow-through To look around for roses and flowers To caress the wounded soldier with gifts Would stop the mindless war and wall And empty the vessel of the touch of lips The gentle breeze reminds me dear That I need to look for the rare in kind A flower is not a flower in colour But the one that leaps to the heart to flower Touches mine not the whims of sweets Or the look that carries with it deceit I find at least a rose not bright But a grey rose that gives my heart delight.
