Lovely Flowers

Sweet little flowers

Blowing in the wind

There are no elephants

To step on you petals

Show to the world your color

Never fear 

For you are lovely like the sun

And everything will be alright

Sweet little flowers

Broken and frayed

An apology is not enough

To fix your lovely petals

To restore your glittering color

Always fear

For you are burning like the sun

And everything could turn to ashes

Sweet little flowers

You are gone now

I look only at the scorched ground

And frayed little petals

Drifting off with the smoky wind

Sweet little flowers

I am crying for you

The tears come down like rain

Rain now falling from the sky

Hitting the blackened ground softly

Pufts of sediment rising up with the impact

Sweet little flowers

I have come back to your grave

It has been quite a time

And I have nearly forgotten

The perpetual loss in my heart

Sweet little flowers

You are growing again!

I see with my eyes

Beautiful colors on petals

Lilacs and Roses

Daisies and Tulips

Reds and yellows

Blues and purples

You are alive!

Sweet little flowers

You make my heart beat right again

For when you died

So did part of me

Now I see all the colors

That I have missed for so long

Now, we are alive!

The cycling seasons ...of life - being witnessed

A very touching and seemingly long journey the sweet little flowers had...seems like a moment that swiftly turned into a lifetime. I love how you mixed the elements of nature, that are silently participating in our everyday heartaches. Lovely and so well done :)
