The Last Petal Falls

The last petal falls From a rose Another season Fragmented Dieing alone From spring Summer insists A bouquet of love manifests Evenescent as a breath Gracefully Fluttering A fast Subtle Death And now a wind blown dream As the call of Autumn Impedes As falling leaves Flutter in dance A sense of Winter Cold and damp Has left a flower Without a dream Scattered Slowly drifting away

Dear Rick, a poignant moment when the season turns.. I was especially struck by "A sense of Winter/Cold and damp/Has left a flower/Without a dream" - so beautiful, emotive and evocative. Splendid poetry. Congratulations for your success in Sara's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Petals seems to fall gracefully into another season. It's beautiful, yet tender and emotional all at the same time. Your thoughts touch my heart. My best to you, Rick. Hugs, Brandy
