Tree and the Six Flowers
This spring, below me
There were six flowers, and six flowers only
My leaves made way for the piercing eyes of the sun
Which helped them give way
For me to look at their vibrant
And different colors; not a moment was silent
Not one like the other; not one close to the shade of the other
Seemed out of the ordinary; their beauty was all I had ever known
The seven of us
Alone atop a small hill
Like a children's fairytale
‘Tree and the six flowers’
Synthia
The lovely Forsythia
Her color arose jealousy
In the sun herself
Tulla
My little blushing Tulip
So light, almost white
But never made me feel pale
Violet
To give any other name
To my Viola
Would be an injustice not forgiven
Dezita
My porcelain Deutzia
Brighter than the stars
Whiter than the moon
Lili
Such a rare orange Lily
Blessed I am
To call her a part of our family
Rosy
Away from preconceptions
She was a gothic mystery
Darker than the night sky
As spring came to an inevitable end
My family withered away
Saying, “See you next spring, Tree”
Merged into one color, beautiful even together
