Goodbye Tiger Lilies

The ashes crumble underneath my weight

I remember the world I once made

before the Devil stabbed it with a fiery blade

mayflowers sprinkled the meadow with their snow-white corollas

the trees sheltered the animals with umbrellas

the sky turned into a goldfoil

the tiger lilies bedizen the soil

water as clear as diamonds

sand to soothe the rocky islands

bouquets of timber that seemed myterious and sinister

although not to nature’s listener

and now I look apon my land I will love always

a tear rolls down my cheek as I imagine it all ablaze

the hellfire turning my dasies into ash

ruining my meadow with a blazing slash

I imagine my tigier lillies crying

as their world of tranquility is dying

where there are no birds to sing songs

for there is no branch for them to perch on

only ashes

only ashes

so I must say my last goodbyes

goodbye to the komorebi

I loved seeing you in the early morning

goodbye mountains

goodbye clear oasis

farewell my whistling wood

I loved your mystery and secrets

goodbye tiger lilies

I will dreadfully miss your amber petals as they bathe in the golden sunlight

I think I will miss you most

goodbye tiger lilies

goodbye
