Sublime Flowers
Would be so colorless without flowers
A glimpse of the heaven’s mystical street
A reminder of God’s sublime powers
Smiling at the world after spring showers
Tulips, lilacs-nature’s unique free treat
Would be so colorless without flowers
Not one wise chemist working insane hours
Can ever conjure up fragrance so sweet
A reminder of God’s sublime powers
Adorning tombs of beloved dead of ours
Love and sorrow, flowers say at their feet
Would be so colorless without flowers
How to say it, the lad in love cowers
A red rose helps unlock his tongue indeed
A reminder of God’s sublime powers
Trapped in life’s concrete towns, roads and towers
Orchids in a pot make me smile and tweet
Would be so colorless without flowers
A reminder of God’s sublime powers
