Upon my pilgrimage yearning for love. I found myself surrounded by a plethora of petals. Day and night I searched for a fragrance. An aroma that would lead to you. As twilight dimmed clementine horizons, there you were, glistening in the moonlight. Your scent seduced my senses, my heart became a willing admirer. Something awoke that day, forgotten emotions suppressed by fate's injustices, were reborn, illuminated like the blazing sun. Yet such is the fragility of fate - as sins from the heavens poured, forming a turbulent tempest, you wilted, and I was unable to save you. In the sadness of silence, I watched as your petals floated away so I waited, hoping the winds would take me too but I'm still here - Isolated - shivering, soaking in misery, without a petal to call my own. Silent One Simple Musing 16 July 2019

As a child I used to pick dandelions and pluck each petal and as the wind took it from my fingers “He loves me” than with the next unresisting petal “He loves me not” would whisper from my lips. Till the last petal was plucked and my childhood crush loved me or loved me not. What a treasure you have penned SO. Kelli

So many emotions tangle around your words. This is beautiful, tender and sad all at the same time. Sometimes, love is like the wind, here one moment- then gone the next. Your thoughts wrap gently around my heart. ~ Brandy

Oh, your poem moved me, struck some undefined sense of loss inside me as the petals were lost to you. Solid emotional writing. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
