Flowers on the Table

Flowers on the Table

A rainbow of silky colours,
Roses, daises, and marigolds.
The vibrant rainbow of colours I see,
Smells combine to the pleasant aroma.

Walking through a sea of flowers,
picking the ones
that would look the best on the table,
the feel of the stems, the silky petals
and the leaves attached.

I see it darken,
The colours of my ocean fade.
The smells linger
The stars brighten.

The hill in my house leads to my bed,
the day will be long tomorrow.
The walk took longer than I wanted,
But how many times can you stop and smell the roses?
