my father told me not to go near them
he said he feared them always
and he told me
that they carried him away
windflowers
beautiful windflowers
i couldn’t wait to touch them
to smell them
i held them closely
and now i can not break away
their sweet bouquet disppears
like the vapor in the desert
so take a warning, son
windflowers
ancient windflowers
their beauty captures every young dreamer
who lingers near them
but ancient windflowers
i love you
(齐秦) windflowers
