how wonderful would it be
to be an iris near the sea
after I have laid to rest
with the earth covering me

to sway with the rhythm of the air
to not feel alone, to not feel despair
to hear the crashing of the waves
separating the silence that once was there

need not to worry of the passing time
nor life's complicated design
for I am a flower amidst the fire
and somehow, I know I'll be fine

after I have laid to rest
with the earth covering me
it's truly wonderful to be
an iris near the sea
