Death Of A Flower Poem by Billy Loving

Death Of A Flower



Today I watched a dying flower
Baking in the noon day sun
Awaiting a replenishing shower
It's life cycle almost done
Slowly withering away
No nourishment to be found
Parched red clay
Desperate roots underground
Petals falling one by one
Smaller the bloom steadily grows
It seems the heat has almost won
A helpless breeze gently blows
Life's lights rapidly dim
All that's left, a lonely stem

In a time when spring is beginning to bud, what a shame that one flower is near the end. Still it had its time to shine and make its beauty knowing, one day we will all join that flower. Touching work especially the end.
