Maturity's End Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Life, once so full - so fragrant - now lies dying amongst friends.
Caring no more for the things it sought in life to keep it busy, now it rocks gently in the cradle of death.
There are no more tears left to cry - to shower life with sweet sadness can be no more.
Having taken commitment seriously - living life to the fullest - sharing with many people, the beauty and wisdom of it's silence.
Petals of each phase of maturity have fallen and been placed in the book of life, now ended.
