If flowers had memories

If flowers had memories

Would they remember spring?

Would they suffer through
the harsh winds of winter
and the icy flakes from the sky—
just to bloom in spring again?

Maybe some of them
can’t handle the grief
of forgotten wisps
from a once-lovely season.

So they fall,
not knowing where they’ll land—
just understanding
maybe it’s better there.

Or perhaps
some cling to the branches,
knowing spring will return.

It’s possible
a few see beauty
in snow-capped stillness
and the biting cold,
and choose to stay.

Logically,
they wouldn’t remember at all.

But what if they did?
