But it seemed wrong, somehow
To cut down one beauty
In memory of another
I bring instead, a seed
And water, in my eye.

Wow, I am a puddle now, like the wicked witch who got water thrown on her, and she melted (but not cause she was made of sugar and spice and all that's nice) . This is so original and perfect. Thanks for this, made my day.
