White Tulip
Abandoned by the ground and the rain White tulip stands proudly in the vase, Its leafs breathe the air without a sound Then it slowly turns towards the sun. Like a long yawn, the petals open; Chemical substances unspoken Surrender to fate or to science, The tulip bends and bows in silence. I’m staring at this blossoming life, As drying blood on a wound, so light. White tulip, I know you are dying But your beauty is what leaves me crying.
