Amongst a mass of vibrant green
one flower there remains
holding on as if to say
better days will surely come
for it has been a lonely time
and long the heart entwined
with love’s spirit of creation.

There were others of a like mind
before it came to be
and others waving in a breeze
the allure of perfumed wiles
designed to preen and flatter  
the core of manly matter
as if they really cared.

But now there’s only one
left alone to sing and chant
the song of a true heart
amidst the swing and sway
of life’s underhanded fling
into the all and nothing
of immortality.

Yellow like the sun above
that flower’s still in love!

Helen / 26 January 2006

Thank goodness there's still at least that one, Helen!  I see your trip has had a LOVEly affect on you.  Are you home now or still at the sea?   ....jo

Helen~
There's a special beauty in the 'one flower' ... and she doesn't have to compete for the oooh's and aaah's~

Very pretty is this~

Yellow is the perfect colour for a lone flower standing strong! It represents personal power, happiness, and intelligence!

Helen, this is such a special poem. I love it! ~ and you ~ and that precious yellow flower! Flowers
