"Happy Orchids" (Yasmin 03)

Inspired by and dedicated to Yasmin J. Cruz.

You said you wanted orchids
When I brought you a rose.
So here I am again,
I have brought you those.

Pretty purple flowers
Worthy of your sight.
Pretty purple flowers
Moonlit in the night.

Imagine for a second
That it was you and I,
Just us on a mountain
Looking at the sky.

Looking at the moon,
Staring at the stars,
Listening to the breeze
Coming from afar.

Imagine we were entranced,
Intoxicated by the scent
Of a field full of orchids,
Would that make you content?

Tell me, would you be happy
In a cabin far away,
Without city lights, nor city noise
To bring beauty dismay?

Nature at its best
Has dared to create you.
So would you in a dream
Create something for it too?

Create your happy place
Within your happy thoughts.
Those thoughts in which your orchids
Are ignorant to the wars fought.
