New Blooms

I am fractured 
               tattered frayed
    rippling in whirls
where fragments of thoughts scatter

                     tethered to a core that trembles
holding tight 
                    despite the many forces

strained under the elements of life.

I mourn the petals gone.

The particles of my identity 
long lost to times depravity.

I wait to see if I am but this blossom gone to seed
                  or under these roots new blooms bring peace.
