My flower
My flower's not a rose
I've seen too many of them
my flower grows
when the moon and stars shine
on her petals
flower's one of those
My flower knows
just what the rain can do
and when the wind blows
on her leaves
the traces of the places
no one else would go
My flower has her thorns
but never does she use them
my flower mourns
for all the wrongs
the world has done to others
without roots so deep and strong
My flower's seeds
are growing in my garden
dancing with the weeds
and the lonely flowers I'd forgotten
they are beautiful to me
