Flowers Make You Cry
Take 2
A mountain gladiolus, like the sunrise, held me in her passion years ago. Her fiery kisses scorched my youthful heartstrings till I cried. Eventually I broke and let her go,
I found a lotus lily sadly wilted, nursed her back to joy with tender play then lost my soul within her mystic eyes of north-sea cloud, and died the day she took her love away.
A silver rose more lucid than the moonlight remade my heart beneath a desert sky, she fetched my soul and pointed me to life beyond tomorrow - but vanished when I turned to ask her why.
In evening light I see my battered life on barren ground with thistledown and nettles scattered round.
---------
Properties of the symbols;
* Though beautiful, wild glads are poisonous - deadly to the root. * Lotus flowers intoxicate with a heady addictive essence. (a mind drug) * The white rose is spiritually pure. ( the flower in S3 is actually an angel) * Loyal thistledown, beneath the prickles gives comfort and warmth. * Nettle (a healing herb)provides protection to those hardened to its stings. Note: Both thistle and nettle are tough and can survive arduous conditions ----------------------------------------------- take 1 A mountain gladiolus, like the sunrise, held me in her passion years ago.
