Beauty like no other (Matchstick Banksia)

Your beauty’s like a firework that got shot into the night sky,

And I wonder if I will ever see you again just one more time 

You stay sitting in that one spot waiting for me,

Staying there with your beauty, I wonder why you are disappearing

With no time to spare you wait for me 

Waiting to be saved from your sorrow 

Just to see you for the last time is a bundle of joy

With no time to spare you wait for your aid

To be saved by us all 

O beautiful matchstick banksia, I wonder where you are

Waiting for me with your lava-like strings

Wondering if I will survive from near death

With pink and green you glow to me and stand out more than any other

And the color of my childhood you share with me,

And give me comfort when I need 

Like the grassland earless dragon I wish you could come back 

But as your time comes you shrink in numbers and I know I can’t see you

With green stems your root digs deep like boots in mud 

Your beauty like nature, I wish you would stay and wait for me

To see you in time would be a dream.
