The Message in Flower

 The ball was in full swing. People mingled happily, as if the sufferings of those just beyond the estate walls were but a fantasy. Dressed in the most extravagant garb, none stood out except for a few men and women adorned with a particular flower. If you paid as much attention to them as I did, you would notice the subtle nods exchanged between them. Their conversations transcended the words you and I used, their actions filled with grace and agility. No one in their right mind would accuse this group of the assassination of the Lord, but I'm sure you will agree with me when I tell you that a single coltsfoot adorned each of these persons.
