Wind Flowers

WINDFLOWERS

 

Windflowers, my father told me not to go near them.

He said he feared them always,

and he told me that they carried him away.

Windflowers, Beautiful windflowers I couldn't wait to touch them,

to smell them I held them closely.

And now I cannot break away.

Their sweet bouquet disappears like the vapor in the desert.

So take a warning, son.

Windflowers, Ancient windflowers.

Their beauty captures every young dreamer who lingers near them.

But ancient windflowers, I love you.
