another song written as part of a 30 day challenge in 2020

lyrics

I am an Irish Rose
wrapped in climbing Stinging Nettles
Clovers warming cold twigs
as the cold wind brings
I am Plumeria
shadowed by Hibiscus petals
Lehua drops from branches high
as Keawe grasps the Nettles
Lavender smells so sweet
drifting down the mountain side
to reach Naupaka shining by the sea
in 40 days time
all the flowers of this valley
of my heart will dance so quickly
with the winter snow and wind
Lavender smells so sweet
drifting down the mountain side
to reach Naupaka shining by the sea
I am so many blooms
drifting here upon the cool breeze
spinning in and out of sunlight
as I rest upon the green
