Evanescence - Angelina Weld Grimke

You are like a pale purple flower
In the blue spring dusk

You are like a yellow star
Budding and blowing
In an apricot sky
You are like the beauty
Of a voice
Remembered after death

You are like thin, white petals
Falling
             And
                     Floating
                                   Down
Upon the white stilled hushing
      Of my soul.
