Last Blossom Poem by Barry Middleton

Last Blossom



the last magnolia blossom waits to drop
it is a relic of the spring
but it is unaware
it cannot feel its petals gently fall
the other blooms have set their seed
as nature has its way
I smugly believe that I am wise and strong
and yet as seasons pass away
I grieve the coming heat
I envy falling petals in the night
the peace of death without despair
until spring comes again

A poignant write. Everything has to end. That's a bitter truth depicted so beautifully in this poem.

Thanks Nosheen. I sometimes envy inanimate or insentient things. The blessing and the curse of the human soul is awareness.
