A Flower
Orchids are white,
Ghost ones are rare,
A Bat Orchid is black,
And so is your hair.
Flowers are music of the ground,
They make me want to dance all around.
A flower, in the night,
seems so bright.
But when someone plucks it,
It drains all the light.
A Flower, oh, A Flower
I will put you in a vase.
How you stand out so much
In such a beautiful place.
