Flowers Wither
Flowers wither
Wither and fall
Delicate, yet brave
Their petals droop and dangle
Darken and shrivel
Succumb, shed, and scatter below
Perhaps they are afraid
Reluctant to fall
Fight to hold on
Resist letting go
Incredible loss precedes their season of mourning
As the beauty that was
Becomes...once was
Leaving the stem that cradled and sustained
Barren and standing alone
