Flowers in the Wind

A snowy flower by the mountainside.

Is a name for all to wonder. 

Why even mortals know,

The gates of deathly wisdom?


Passing in the wind,

We are a gust of laughter. 

As we mock ourselves,

With pretensions of strength. 


We are nothing more,

Than flowers in the wind.

We are ice which is melting, 

In the shadows of the sun.



A Flicker of Light

With Flowers and Doors
