Let The Flowers Grow Again Mystic

Let the flowers grow again
From this aging skin—
To puffy cheeks and rosy lips,
From walking sticks to jumping ropes.

Let the flowers grow again,
To be pregnant with love,
To wear my heart on my sleeve
While I stare into his glittering eyes.

Let the flowers grow again,
To greet a warm body at dawn,
While the sun caresses my skin,
And a smile greets another.

I need the flowers to grow again,
To spend eternity in his arms,
To find my youth once more,
Forever young, like a song that soothes the ears.

Maybe the flowers will grow again,
When we meet in the afterlife.
