I see amongst the purplish hue Amongst the reds and yellows Incircleling the green hedge bush Within it's 4 rolls of doubled blooms Stands a new breed of genes called hybrids Weed free and neatly organized Someone took the time with love and care for this new breed They separated according to age, color and breed Inset with an old rock bed I see at distance a singled pedaled flower from the original seed It wears faded colors of many Its head is wilted and lower as in prayer It is in need of much care and weeding I think to myself, there I am the original breed Within the rolls of many I stand alone. Out of the bush trimmed clean and perfect Through the top outreaches and dangles a vine of ivy Poison or not Comes to mind I feel the heat in full blaze I walk around the enclosure to gaze closely at the single flower I see where a leaf is peaking out the side of the bush Where no one else can see is the leaf outstretched Ready to cover the single flower when needed The sun reached to it's hottest of the day And out pops the leaf covering the head of the lone flower It slowly raised its head with sigh of relief I smiled I see the new breeds are slowly lowering their heads I feel sad for them as I did the single flower The ivy spoke up and said Do not pity them for this is the cycle of man |
