Eternal Flower – Afsara Sadiya

Let me be  

 

the eternal flower 

in your temporary  

spring  

 

And in the summer 

your forever sun  

that somehow hides  

the coldest winds 

 

Let me be  

 

the eternal flower 

the last taste of honey 

as fall invades 

 

And in the winter 

your evermore tree  

a fallen trunk  

with remaining shade 

 

Let me be  

 

the eternal flower 

that opens still 

in a desert storm  

 

And when seasons touch 

in nature’s next war 

this infinite land 

will already  

be born
