You said to look for you in blooms
The most vibrant that adorned 
The sunny yellow Amalthas 
As it stood verdant in the lawn 

I chose a bower in my mind 
It was you whispering to me 
Everytime a drizzle fell 
Or when she murmured in the breeze

But then came fall and with it all
The flowers began to drop
I held my breath as I watched 
But you stayed shimmering on 

You wore your golden yellows 
Dancing in your green abode 
But then nature came calling your name
You were the last to free your hold 

You whispered softly one last time 
As you let go of the tree 
I watched but did not linger, I
Imagined you somewhere roaming free 

But in my heart I’ve always known
You’ve shredded up your form 
With all your love and courage 
Back into the earth you’ve gone 

You said that I should look for you 
In the things that make me smile 
I see you now in leaves and flowers
In the rain and the fireflies.
