Abi Hands
The garden has grown some beautiful
flowers
colors of 
Heliotrope  H
Ochre          O
Periwinkle   P
Emerald       E
Even the birds and bees flock to this sanctuary
Even the chrysanthemums with crimson 
and orange like a sunset
Some people treasure them and others mourn
For the crowd doesn’t understand
Some within the crowd dislike and dismiss
These flowers bloom in these quiet nights
Winter can’t stop the growth either for it was 
made that way
Then the gardener planted marigolds
Meant to help them grow
Who would have guessed they were perfect for each other
Anyways
This isn’t about flowers
