CADENCE

Offering
I seek no token of you dearI only ask to giveThe purple flower of my heartAnd you will let it live.
I ask no fealty or plight,I only pray that youMay find earth's barren places brightPerhaps, because it grew.
And when for you the final sunMoves toward the darkening West,I shall be lingering to placeLove's flower on your breast.
