In God's Land

Greg Monsolino 1968 (NY)

A Flower Grows
Once again,
Every Year
In God's Land.
It Blooms in such a Pretty Way,
To Die again Some Winter's Day.
But What is really Meant to be,
When Life and Love,
Never Agree.

About this poem

Its a poem about life, love, and loss, and how all three of these elements can be the most satisfying and confusing at the same time, when things are believe to be, when in actuality, they are not.
