What Does Silence Say?

Lovely daffodils, there on the hill The breeze is strong yet you are still Why do you not, in the wind, sway? What brought this sorrow to your day? Has sun not shone its bright complexion? So why has diminished, your direction? It is with joy that I see your glow So tell me please, I must now know. Is there a darkness that I don’t see Looming over the hill, daring me? Yet, here you stay, no turn to have As I watch you safely, from this path. Is there a meaning at all to find? Please give me now, peace of mind Or, is it that you’re young, not grown And in the wind, you stand below? I shall walk on now and hopefully see What lies ahead… waiting for me But if you know, would you dare tell? Goodbye, sweet flowers, I wish you well.
