Notes About The Poem

Tragic Petals

Freely Asked And Wholly Answered
In Each Others Touch.
This As Much As More
And Never Less Than All.

Strange And Wondrous 
Beauty Thou Art Rare
To Thus Descend 
Upon Me Now As I,
Stand Thus Transfixed
Transformed Again,
Turned By Ancient Fingers 
On The Lathe.

What Outcropping 
Does Such Life Unravel?
Move Your Gavel To The Task At Hand.
Turn Your Wheel, Gravedigger Time,
That We May Turn Away;
Live To Scramble Eggs 
Another Day.

Exquisite Pain 
Unfolds As Petals Slowly 
Opening Embrace,
Finding Sunshine 
Kissed Upon Our Face,
Seeking Pleasures 
In A Desperate Race.

Catch Me Though I Fall
And Breath Be Yet 
To Hold Thine Hand;
Walk With God So Small
In Footsteps Shuddered 
On This Land.

Oh Beauty Still, 
A Tragic Glimpse Tis All.
