THE FLOWER

The flower opened in the sun
And flung her petals wide.
Passing by, I knelt
And in my hands
I cupped their bursting colours
- too much for me to hold -
And overflowing, filled
All the air with sweet delights
So when I stood and stepped away
They shone on me,
And shine they still,
That flower long since gone.
