The Lemon Spider Orchid

She rests on delicate sandy hills, inhaling the salt remaining from a nearby lake
All alone the only thing she can see is the looming weeds slowly creeping towards her.
She gracefully sways in the wind all alone, not a friend in sight.
The memory of her destroyed home and family still lingers
I lay down on the sandy hill watching the orange painted sky fade to black.
For her it's another night alone
