The Flowering

By Lightning Bug

On No Paradise

[Verse 1]

Don’t count your blossoms before the spring

Though the heavy-hanging buds may ring

So full of life, that you hear them sing

Through the tender green wrapping!


[Verse 2]

Its silken fur glimmers in the moon

Its vermilion heart quivers in its womb

How beautiful it will be in full bloom

Soon, you think, soon


[Verse 3]

Though stars may crowd the darkness of the sky

They never touch the loneliness of night

The forests long for openness and light

Extending towards blue, so pure and bright

Made new by the thrill of birds in flight


[Verse 4]

I’ll look no farther than the things I see

I’ll savor the significance of lеaves

I’ll float my body languid in the breeze

And lеt the moments run through me

To blossom only as they please


[Outro]

I’ll let the moments run through me

To blossom only as they please
