“Marigold”

On a path of stone

with a Marigold in hand.

I traverse a vibrant world,

a flourishing land.

Into the Garden of Eden

full of trees and flowers.

A paradise unlike any other,

blessed by Heaven's powers.

It is there we meet,

under the boughs of the Tree.

The branches grasping, leaves shaking,

as if to embrace me.

Smiling as they approach,

and entwine my fragile soul,

The Marigold falls...

I can finally let go.
