Once I was Flower

Navaris Darson 

 

If he is sun

then I am flower

 

If he be stunning

then I be stunned

 

If he is honey

then I am hunger 

 

If I be singing 

then he be sung

 

If I am awake 

He is the day 

 

If I be bread

then he be wine

 

And if I live

then he is life 

 

And I be blessed

If he be mine 

 

If I am feather

he is the breeze

 

If I be sky

he is the light

 

And if I burn

he be the flame 

 

But he is setting

and I fear night 

 

When he goes

I will be wither 

 

And when he goes 

I will be die 

 

He goes, he goes

and now I shrivel

 

He goes, he goes

and how I cry

 

Once I was flower

and he was sun

 

Now he has fallen

and I am undone
