She Lay Forgotten

Even flowers flutter in the wind
their stalks bend to the power,
all in a trembling voice.
They shimmer in the sun
warm to the touch and hot to the hand
valued above others.

Here I lie alone
no body, nor son to warm me
his words lost in the silence
as admiration dwindles and falls.
Here she lay forgotten.

Sand cradled and embraced repeatedly
the waves transform each bit
as his charge overpowers,
alters the smallest of cares
generating that worth viewing
and beyond so, wooing

Yet here I lie alone
still no body, nor wave to lap me
the words falter through distance
their admiration dwindles and fails.
Here she lay forgotten.

Creatures sheltered from the elements
trees, ground and rock envelop them
life and health dependent.
Every fancy fulfilled
resulting in a lavish beauty
Cherished and protected.

And here I lay alone
no body, or words to warm me
as the span greatens
the admiration subsides.
How long will she lay forgotten?


~But I tell you that even Solomon with his riches was not dressed as beautifully as one of these flowers [Matthew 6:29]~
