Flowers
All the flowers of my lifetime
Are spread across the sky
A panorama of hues
And sizes
Multicoloured
Multi-shaped
Whirling swirling in a dance
Their perfume overwhelming
Setting my sense spinning
Until mentally I join them
And in my exhilaration
Realise
This isn’t dreaming
This is just dying
And it’s natural
I cared for my late wife for nearly two years. Towards the end she was so happy, and died with the most beautiful smile on he face. Perhaps this is what she was seeing.
