Lost Blossom
From my window I saw you clinging
On the tree that never flowers.
A perfect creamy blossom with a soft, gold center,
A lone decoration on the old gnarled tree,
When the rains stopped, I went to search the branch,
But there was no trace of a flower or the start of a tiny fruit.
Lost blossom, Lost blossom, for every cloudburst
There are raindrops, and every snowstorm leaves snow,
Why even the breeze leaves ripples on the pond.
Lost blossom, where did you go?
Lost blossom, from where did you come?
Shall we meet someday again, perhaps,
When for us time itself shall end?

Post a CommentBeautifully written! The blossoms of spring and summer fade with the onset of autumn and winter. That always makes me a but wistful as the leaves begin to turn.
Powerful imagery, and soul touching Mary, a beautiful work of art, thank you!
