Peony Flower

for my Peony flower- u bloomed and showed me so much, remain beautiful forever

i hear the cries of a Peony flower.

it stands alone but its beauty captivates,

adding colour to the ever so grey environment.

so pink, and full of love,

with white petals that emphasise its innocence

and open leaves that welcome any soul

Beautiful...

so magnificent is its form-

admiration fills my heart as i realize its surroundings cannot alter,

slight jealousy enters me for this area does not deserve...

Beautiful...

but why the tears?

why is its scent full of sadness?

it cries because of the loneliness,

perhaps it cries for greener pastures.

but as i walk closer i begin to hear whispers

whispers so heartbreaking and selfless

it instead cries for the weeds and land that surround it
