Falling Petals Poem by Theresa Ann Moore

Radiant flowers dance
As soft breezes caress
Petals nod in the midday sun
with a glow that blesses

Shades of gray invade
suddenly there is a chill...
harmonious swaying ceases
Joy is forgotten…all is still

Awaiting an unknown fate
apprehensive murmurs stall
The blush upon pastel cheeks
fades away as teardrops fall

Empty sadness lingers
as disbelief invades forever
Timelessness now is reduced
to a brief season of together
