Lavender Promises
Barbara Piasecka 2006 (Poland)
For she was my lavender,
The flower that spoke of sweet serenity,
The pure devotion that flowed steadily,
Calming the night sky with one phrase.
The colour of elegance and grace.
She was unchanging,
The light at the edge of the woods,
Shining as brightly as ever,
However, nothing lasts forever
She was an evergreen,
The fragrant beauty of a flower,
Bearing the soft, stable power.
Put me to sleep, I said.
Change me, she begged.
She used to be my lavender.
