Blossom

A blossom’s beauty hangs in glory

Trampled by the souls of men

Truth be seen, yet for a moment 

This offering has come and past

Her velvet dress swayed motionless

To the dance that He began

Rhythm filled like dendrite drums

Chorus coupled; man and beast

In falling moments she lay in peace  

Forgotten from the one she loves?

Sad words, but very well expressed sentiments, Manny. As I type, I see the fallen blossoms of my camelia tree. I can relate to this feeling. Very nice!
