Ephemeral Gardens
Through cracks of stone, the lilies climb,
Their fragrance weaves the threads of time.
Petals fold where moments break,
Their silken whispers, paths we take.
A storm of seasons bends their grace,
Each bloom a kiss in fleeting space.
The rain refracts the light unseen,
As roots embrace the earth serene.
Yet here, in shadowed hues, they dwell,
A paradise where angels fell.
The garden hums a hymn of loss,
Each stem a burden, every moss.
Though beauty fades, its echo stays,
A ghost that haunts the living maze.
Ephemeral hearts may break apart,
Yet still they bloom within the heart.
Their fragrance weaves the threads of time.
Petals fold where moments break,
Their silken whispers, paths we take.
A storm of seasons bends their grace,
Each bloom a kiss in fleeting space.
The rain refracts the light unseen,
As roots embrace the earth serene.
Yet here, in shadowed hues, they dwell,
A paradise where angels fell.
The garden hums a hymn of loss,
Each stem a burden, every moss.
Though beauty fades, its echo stays,
A ghost that haunts the living maze.
Ephemeral hearts may break apart,
Yet still they bloom within the heart.
