Dyed Flora #4 : Cherry Blossoms

Back then
On a fine
Spring morning
I bloomed
soundless
in a fairy tale sea
of cherry blossom pink
awaiting
the fall,
my destiny
but you found me
before
keeping me
for company
soaking me
in water, saline
left to dry in
this yellow pages fine..

Now then
On this fine
Summer noon
I find myself
a company
a little clover leaf, green
but the pages, yellow
are stained pink
a light orange tint
coloring
her orange dream..
