... And Magenta and Purple Danced
To the Melody of dark Golden Winds
Kissing the edge of Shadows…
As if to say
I Dance in the light of life…

My brilliant Petals
Encoded with Eternity…

Should
You
Choose
to
cut
me
down

No Matter…

Certainly, the Heart of Me
Will always Be
Dancing
to that gilded Melody...
