PETAL

Lonely petal in the blackness of space
This tainted heart is from another place
And among those whose roots were torn
It escaped, with their blood, with their grace

Its million veins glistened with a dark sin
Passionate in its cause to resurrect its kin
It caught the breeze and left its home
To return one day in vengeance's dome

It drifted and drifted, In circles it roamed
It lapsed for eons and was always alone
The souls surged with unrest and began to die
The petal itself kept going; Hope by its side

Whispers of a land with a new kind of life
Voices from far away, It heard with strife
In a hypnotic trance, It guided itself here
Into a void, where nothingness was real

And thus it was left upon a pedestal of time
By itself, A red petal with a white line
Dawned infinity in its life that once shone
Spawned now its grief but the only sign
