Drooped Lotus

DROOPED  LOTUS


        Days back lovey abloom lotus
               was at focus
       of fluttering butterfly and humming bees
               in rapture to capture 
                fragrance and nectar.

        Now lotus drooped with shrunk wrinkled petals
            floats on marshy mossy low pond.
               Swarm of flies assemble 
               on bosom of withered blossom.

           Willow standing on wet muddy brim 
                        mourns in silent scream
                   weeping watching dry deceased flower
                     abandoned by bees and butterflies.

Daniel Turner April 6, 2023 at 8:45 AM Nicely penned, Anisha. A good analogy of life. We grow old, our outer beauty fades, and the people who used to come around, quit coming around. Anisha Dutta April 6, 2023 at 10:26 PM Thanks for your visit and appreciation. Have God Days.
