Blonde Petals

Her wide blonde petals
   once rose to the sun
now   but   drooping
   browned 'n beiged tresses
   swaying   gingerly   softly
contemplating   the dark turf 
of dirty brown carpet below.

'You had your moment in the sun,'
    comforted breezy wind.

'But I so thought my beauty 
   would be   for much longer,' 
   softly wept that faded rose. 

So be the lament
so be   for beauty all
   all to meet   the chill
the sad   of brilliance fade
   of beauty lost
   in the   dust decay 
   of yesterday.
