But One Flower

There is but one flower which remains of gardens that are lost One lonely flower standing tall in the sun I cherish every petal, every golden blade of life Respect determination and the struggle to survive There is but one flower here and now to grace my field of dreams But one is all I need to see the world in lavish bloom To forecast every color, every shade of pink and green Fragrant with desire to know joy once again

So dreamy, Mike -- and I mean 'good dreamy' ... perhaps 'visionary' is the work I'm looking for. Really like this one. Bravo, Gershon
