A Bloom is Not Forgotten

A fragrant poem

A Bloom is Not Forgotten

By Jack Ivey

 

 

A bloom is not forgotten for its fragrance lingers on

Captured in the morning dew that plays upon the lawn

Delicate the petals when no longer we do find

Still its beauty follows us forever in our mind

 

The melodies of nightingales within the trees do sing

Until the time they wander off, the wind beneath their wings

When off into the distance finds these birds no longer near

Still their song it plays its tune that we shall always hear

 

On the beach we build a castle very tall and fine

Made of tiny grains of sand this summer day we find

And even when the tide does wash away our grand surprise

Still we find the magic it does play upon our eyes

 

When the sun is setting out along the western shore

The warmth upon our skin we felt, we come to want once more

Now as the darkness falls and this new day does turn to night

Still we can remember that the sun was shining bright

 

As we turn the pages in the brand new book we read

Every new found place into our minds we slowly feed

Coming to the last page and “The End” the words do say

Still we find the story it shall never go away

 

A bloom is not forgotten for its fragrance lingers on

Captured in the morning dew that plays upon the lawn

But like its beauty this I see when you come into view

I can’t forget a blossom that’s as perfect as are you
