I Live, I End



I live
Time flies
Colour fades
As I sit quiet on this fence
And look at the ones who come and go
A wanderer among them today gives me a stare
While he asks me “O’ lady bright and beautiful
Why does the world call you the ‘bougainvillea’?”
All I tell him”Even I do wonder why, why so
What is in my name, what is in my pink?”
As I sit quiet on this fence
Colour fades
Time flies
I end.

Such a beautiful little poem! I love the bougainvillea... it is one of the simplest yet prettiest of flowers.
