• -These Petals-

    These petals,
    They were red once
    Full of life and of fragrance

    These petals,
    I see them now
    They are lifeless and dry

    These petals,
    Corners crinkled
    Colors faded

    These petals,
    Linger even when the flower
    Is nowhere to be found

    These petals,
    Though tattered and torn
    Still remain

    These petals,
    I’ve come to realize
    Are more alive then they’ll ever be

    These petals,
    Still existing, still beautiful
    And still fragrant with the sent of life

    These petals,
    Are eternal
    In my heart.
