A Flower Field

Published on 28/07/2026

Oh I walked through a field today Where every flower bowed with the wind And none of them wondered why they bloomed They bloomed in the wild And the plains enhanced even those that were mild The world speaks so often of its ugliness Yet it seems no more than a field without an end One that asks only to be walked through Or perhaps beauty was never rare Perhaps we simply forgot to look down As we searched how to fly
