Petals That Drop
Beautiful are the petals that drop...
on every side see the fight
for flowers that do not wilt.
And the Sun who dies day after day...
hear a sigh fade among reeds
"I tend an eternal flame".
Like the truest friends come through the fog...
adequate feel the weapons
that secure a stone bunker.
To carry sorrow and grief away...
yes, the sigh fades among reeds,
for the breeze, a moments game.
