Dark Flower

Black was the flower
I picked up that day.
Dark was its colour
Among the pale hay.

The seasons had passed
And the white blossom
Had been changed so fast
To that dark column.

Every life must end,
But, when my flower
To winter will bend,
Lord, keep her colour!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
