A crown of flowers <br />~ <br />I don a crown of flowers <br />To mask the sorrow inside <br />Eyes which fall upon its beauty <br />Do not see the tears I cry <br />While the flowers bud to blossom <br />I wilt to almost nothing <br />In a garden colour filled with life <br />There is also a shadow found <br />In the sun the flower buds open <br />In the dark a heart is closed <br />The flowers shall be woven together <br />To hide something left unseen <br />The rose, the tulip and the bluebell rise <br />I am envious of their beautiful life <br />So I don I crown of flowers <br />To mask my sorrow inside<br /><br />Matthew Holloway<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-crown-of-flowers/
