Too Late

gentle flower sways
loved by the suns warm embrace,
away from earth climbs.
barren the landscape behind,
forever changed creation.

thank you for all the kind comments. i was trying to explain a feeling to someone the other day and was told.. 'i don't believe you'. so i tried to put it in a new form in hopes i would be believed. -it didnt work. but it did feel good to get it out of my chest.
