Flower to Seed
Do not leave me in your anger,
know I know no anger yet—
I fear the separation that
misunderstanding brings.
Where have you gone, my flower?
Never were you more beautiful
than when in my garden you grew—
Yet the wind took you away.
Such a callous wind.
Now you grow in wild landscapes,
and I am unable to nurture
the flower I once knew.
Now you grow in inhospitable places—
into a new kind of something.
I no longer know you as you were, yet
I love you as you are—ever mine.
