Why

To everyone who knew me I'm ready to fly I'm ready to take off And soar across the crisp white earth Hopefully you will find me Hopefully you can understand why. Please scatter petals Plucked fresh from a dark Red rose Across the new fallen snow Let them catch in the wind As my last breath escapes me Leave the petals dead on the earth The bright red petals against the cold white Let them lay as they fall For the world to see and remind them And if they say When my eyes are closed And I'm surrounded in red velvet Encased in wood If they say I'm beautiful Don't allow them. Tell them no Because I want them as well To know Why.

Breana, , Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT
