THE GIFT

THE GIFT

 

 

 

Roses butter yellow and crimson red

 

Resting their head

 

On leaves iridescent green,

 

My heart drenched in their sunlight

 

Blinding despair with hope and beauty.

 

Lyrics to soothe the fear

 

Of an end that draws all too near

 

Calling my soul back to the light

 

Dying from thoughts  sad and unkind

 

Free now to roam the universe

 

My spirit, once dead

 

On beams of butter yellow and crimson red.
