Flowers

Ornaments of nature

Make the world safer

Jewels in the open

Flowers, not just a token

Minds will soften

The past’s forgotten

Freshness they bring

Makes hearts sing

A nectarine aroma

Each a unique persona

Flowers rain beauty

Theirs, a life of brevity

There’s a lesson or two

We can also be true

Like flowers, we’re ornaments

Sharing impermanence
