Bed Of Daffodils

Skilled hands digging the hole deep
Planting seeds to restfully sleep
Waiting for the glorious day
When inspiration takes heartache away
 
Sowing seeds since the beginning
Mistake after mistake is my ending
Haunted daily by memory's refraction
Paying consequences for my actions
 
Nourished by the rain and light
Hiding the past, my dark of night
Secrets buried way down below
Waiting for something beautiful to grow
 
Within this grave I plant my treasure
Beauty grows from desperate measures
After a lifelong cold winters storm
Hope blossoms within springs warm
 
Forever now this moment stands still
Laid to rest, my destiny fulfilled
In a dream where darkness thrives
A bed of daffodils buried alive
