The Flower

Tranquil is the flower
that sits on the hill,
calm, peaceful -still

Doing its duty,
Endowing its beauty,
Gracing the land,
Affection at hand

No end to
its power,
Eternal,
the flower

A marvel
to view,
The Flower is you.....

(To be continued in “Me Without You”)

I'm glad I stumbled on this simple yet beautiful poem, Marquis; what a pity it has not received the attention it merits. // I hope you are keeping well. Did a bird say that you're in Korea? Regards // paul
