What Lies

What lies.

What lies 
Among beds of roses
The promises of spring
The ever-fragrant highs

What sighs
When its stems are clipped
Dropped into a vase
Far from azure skies

will it try
Wo shamelessly adorn
Bouquets, wilted petals stripped
Trimmed of dreaded thorns

Will it cry
Because it lack the worth
The beauty it once held
When it was bedded in the earth

Will it die
Forced unnaturally to graph
The flower in the urn may smile
But it will never laugh
