Reflections

Eternity by AJH

tangerine-coloured flowers
rested in a vase

their stems entwined, unrelenting, surely
bore witness to beauty in entanglement
of lives, of lovers, of lives of lovers  

their blushed petals unfolding softly
in the warmth of hope of what is to come
of lives, of lovers, of lives of lovers  

their nascent buds, unapologetic, squarely
to the promise they held within
of lives, of lovers, of lives of lovers  

tangerine-coloured flowers
