Widow and the Flower

A flower sits upon the window and sees the reflection of the widow the widow spots the flowers beauty she stops to admire its presence As the widow stares her connection of the flower becomes mesmerizing as if they are one true being the flower welts and weeps the old widow becomes weak stumbling until she looses herself The widow falls onto the ground the flowers petals begins to fall with no sound as the widow tries to rise the flower begins to weep in sorrow The widow starts to cry asking why the flower wilts and hides the widow gets up but then falls to her knees As the flower starts to fade the widow goes pale Lying there cold the widow held out her hand a petal to appear with color so bright it looks so alive The flower is brown and shriveled the widow slowly stops her breath and the petal falls to the ground and it disappears The flower crumbles with the wind the widow leaves the earth with no sound and no one even cries Seeing the wilts fly within the sky People go on with the hope of the day Widow dies with peace The flower spreads its life.
