"Flowers on her hair"

"Flowers cling to the hair for a moment, 

     sparkling with the beholder

when happy, drooping when in lament,   

    while the world gets older." - avr

Flowers cling to the hair for a moment, 

     sparkling with the beholder

when happy, drooping when in lament,   

    while the world gets older.     

Yesterday and today are but one, 

     the child before and today

lives in the secret of beauty and fun,

     letting time pass away. 

For what flowers are, short-live as they are,

     and youth, it's ephemeral too;

let the prime years pass be near or far,

     whatever fate to care to know. ~
