windflowers,
my father told me not to go near them
he said he feared them always
and he told me
that they carried him away
windflowers, beautiful windflowers
i couldn’t wait to touch them
to smell them i held them closely
and now i cannot break away
their sweet bouquet disappears
like the vapor in the desert
so, take a warming ,son
windflowers , ancient windflowers
their beauty captures every young dreamer
who lingers near them
but ancient windflowers, i love you
