Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

Weep Not For Withered Petals-Repost

Each day another velvet petal fell
Like somber tears from weeping eyes
A perfect flower was severed to quell
It lay withering as it drooped and died
Perfect flower, from bud to bloom
Sweet-scented rose, it was no wonder
That stifled in that sepulcher room
You were enshrined, awaiting plunder
Sadness lingers in me over your demise
Withered petals are always a cause for pain
But I'll remember you without tears in my eyes
The memory of your fragrance shall remain

For us to be awakened of truth in this crumbling environment in which we find ourselves Lin Lane October 8, 2022 at 1:19 AM It pains me to watch them wither. Much better to enjoy them on the stem, vine, etc. Thanks, Lasaad.

Robert Lindley December 19, 2021 at 1:39 PM Your repost glows in beautiful sadness. That such beauty dies, is a reminder that death shows no favorites. Always exceptional verses you weave. That we may be reminded of reality in this decaying world that we inhabit. A fav.. God bless.... Lin Lane October 8, 2022 at 1:18 AM Thank you very much, Robert.
