Stones and Flowers

A stone outlives a flower

It lacks one key power

The attraction of fragrance

Flowers get a bee’s obeisance


A stone sinks, flowers float

Hence chosen as devotion’s boat

A plea made with a flower

Softens hearts making them stronger


A stone may destroy a flower

Fragrance will continue to shower

Reflecting beauty and tenderness

Touching hearts measureless


When the mind turns to stone

Ego flowers, and we’re alone

Fragrance flowering from the heart

Heals generations kept apart
