With spring dost bloom our flowers <br />Like a past winter's dance, <br />When the way my fingers touched the grass <br />To me, didn't make any sense. <br />With summer had come our passing <br />As swept by wildflowers in lieu, <br />When tight yet soft purple petals <br />Hid our grass from your view. <br />Fall's golden hues obscured you <br />And for your holly eyes I long, <br />For without your presence, O sunflower, <br />These honeysuckles never could calm. <br />With winter, you were lost in the white <br />As mistletoe was my watch, <br />And you, o daisy, o lily, <br />I feared were forever lost. <br />But rise as you will from our soil <br />With memories to water this soul. <br />No lilies, juniper, but jasmine, <br />For a flower without sun isn't whole.<br /><br />Morituri te Salutant<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-flowers-of-spring/
