Petals In the Wind

Petals in the Wind As the morning breeze whispers in the sky Blowing fragile petals and leaving the tree For someone lounging underneath would sigh, “Petals in the wind take me into a thrill” A flimsy-looking old man Pensive for the good old days Would wish to intertwine With petals in the wind drifting astray A girl in search of a long lost love Still hoping for a spark in her young heart Graciously singing silent notes to prove Those petals in the wind grappling with songs never heard When love dies and silence grows so profound While the wind stops breathing Will gather those in vain searching To scatter and to find rest into the ground Like petals spaced apart from the wind By: Noel N.
