A Flower To Auroville Mother-62

Cornflower(Bachelor's button, Centaurea cyanus)

Neither blue of the ocean
Nor the azure of the sky
Your blue what else then
One special from the sun

Sun himself must have borne
A decorum-remedy in and on
Astringent, tonic, diuretic
Celebratory, attractive corn

Grayish narrow leaves green
Wiry stems downy and adorn
Stalks long among the corn
Striking starry blooms blue

Brilliant blue significant
No weed and not be mistaken
Mistaken Maize not you corn
For yours is the heaven-bourn
