A Flower Falls

I am drawn into 
the flowers form,
its petals curl
as a colour purls
with gentleness,
through the shreds
of my ripped heart

Evidence of decay
is tinged to its glisten,
to last just one more day
is its only mission

This is a bloom 
being finally set free,
from living each day 
nature’s own mortality.
