The girl and her flower-bud

A little girl sits beside a creek
pulls only one straw
of the oxeye daisy's white leafs
they sail lightly down
to the ground
for each straw
drops a tear
down on her rose-red cheek
The water wind in the creek
caressing the Water Lily's leafs
one after one
leaves no one unmoved.
The frog on the Water Lily's leaf studies her.
Now she only has left
the stem with the yellow flower-bud leaning forward the creek
she sees how the water spin
around the stones
and playing fishes swim round.
Hearing the roar and the splashing
when the water meet the stones
feeling the sun warm rays






massaging deep into her body.
She dip the Oxeye daisy flower-bud
into the creek
to see how the water
caress and pulls the flower-bud.
When she feels that the water is swallowing it
again she takes it up
and contemplate the water dripping off.
When she feels prepared
to let the flower-bud sail away
she moves her hand over
a big leaf
put it tenderly and carefully
again she stretches her toward the creek
to say goodbye to the flower-bud.
As she follow the flower-buds trip
she regrets and worries.
She thinks:
Was it worth it?
