She left in love

A supple grace

I sit to the right of my caretaker,

A taciturn, yet forthright individual.

She pulls her cloak

Of petals closer around her,

A study of sublime slowness.

“Where are you going, my love?” I ask.

“Beyond,” She replies...

I have seen her everywhere since then,

A graceful infinitude of tulips.

About the Creator

Sabayo Matiku

I express the realities and frequencies that words are carried on, to speak to the heart in a manner that is simple and free. I've come to ruffle feathers and to polish the sky, to laugh and wonder.
