A Petal of Life

Drifts 
  amidst the seashore
  floating   
  a cherished memory

Crumbled and close
  in creased palms
  crimson silk 
  on weathered cheeks

Scents  
   of everlasting 
   reaching out and
   coming back to get me

Petals
   life holding on
   a heartbeat
   you're a part of me

This write is as soft as the velvety petal of a rose, Tim, and just as sweet.
