Heart Or A Languishing Flower Poem by Uriah Hamilton

Heart Or A Languishing Flower

Rating: 5.0


Great men and despised slaves
All close their eyes
And bid farewell to tender sunsets
And the glorious sunrise,
Neither the great nor the insignificant
Are eternal, everlasting.
The best a poet can do
Is weep beautiful tears
In the midst of ephemeral life
Colored in hues of joy and sadness
And then hope those tears
Fall upon a heart or a languishing flower.

The fall of a leaf, the ceasing of a song, the death of a flower, all of these things diminish this present landscape in ways that the unpoetic person can never understand. Praise for your empathy with the brevity of all things. Kindest regards, Sandra
