A King of Orchids

Praised they scream yon Orchid King…
Now a shadow in the watchtower…
Time’s successors loudly hail
Raised forever is Time’s majesty.

But all he might think of …
Lady Bird, his far beloved.
These eager thoughts he sends to her.
Light upon his wishful dream

And he turns from yon watchtower
Apart from fame he wrests with love
Sending his whispers to the wind…

Along his trademark sends his flower
Grown into his kiss she closed her eyes
Smiling as she sings her gift
Sharing in their wistful dream
