I See The Flowers Poem by Lodigiana Poetess

I see the flowers,
despite the setting amber sun and the chill evening descending,
a kaleidoscope of coloured blooms,
just hours before so vibrant a blanket for me.
Now muted, and slowly wilting beneath the nightdews
approaching dominion.
All around me silence.
The crying of the day now spent,
and hunched shoulders draped in sombre ebony
withdrawn, and in contemplation.
Everyone gone.
Everyone…
Save just one.
Just you.
My love,
Just you.
You sit by the blooms, still and with eyeless stare,
seeing nothing, just emptiness.
Anger rising within your gentle soul,
a rage endeavouring to find deliverance.
Unanswered questions on your lips..all the same
why? Why? Why?
You whisper promises that you will never leave me alone.
Together in life..so also in death
Your tears will water the wilting blooms, but even endless tears
will never save them…soon, they too will be gone.
But, like me, ‘even when the heart falls silent
we do not cease forever to be'
Because in the end, despite a myriad of tears we all
Become memories
Make yours fond ones.
Go home my love
I am safe.
I am with you.
We share remembrance always, and will so, through eternity.
Far beneath the flowers, a store of happiness to recapture.
Now go, but remember the glorious blooms…
And know this,
know always
I am with you,
because,
I see the flowers.
