Oh sweet flower, Lilac in colour Whisper to me your final words. Your stem hugs my ear, your petals do quiver in the silent passage of the air, the wind. Uprooted you lay here, soon to wither Picked from the rest, by the hand Your god And for what reason are you planted hither? If only to pass on the message of your Lord Please tell him I've heard it And that I know not what I did to deserve it, And that I shall carry his message As a seed of love in my heart.

A bittersweet parting
Oh sweet flower, Lilac in colour Whisper to me your final words. Your stem hugs my ear, your petals do quiver in the silent passage of the air, the wind. Uprooted you lay here, soon to wither Picked from the rest, by the hand Your god And for what reason are you planted hither? If only to pass on the message of your Lord Please tell him I've heard it And that I know not what I did to deserve it, And that I shall carry his message As a seed of love in my heart.
Dedicated to a loved one
