that seems so long ago...
green sepals, held tightly in a whorl
cover the tender petals
giving them security, a home to grow in
days pass by
nights pass by
the sun has risen and set many a time
but the petals remain,
while the sepals casually slink backward
the pink leaflets of soft tissue
are the petals that twirl amongst themselves,
puppets of the zephyrs that form in the air
and involuntarily set up to dance atop a tendril
a season drifts away
caught by the stars of the night
never to return in its actuality
and the petals, they disconnect themselves
from the essence of their life
…
free to leave
free to fly
into the sky
into the wind
there was a time when i wondered why i never knew someone who had passed away
i felt a little lucky, maybe a little lonely (was it wrong to feel that way?? it is it was it was horrible of me to think that. i felt like the people in harry potter who wish they could see the thestrals..)
a little confused about others' unhappiness
then last year someone i know, for the first time
he is gone
then this year
three people i know
have gone
just in two months
i don't know what to think
how to let it all
out (?)
let it all out? is that what i should do?
is it good or bad?
i don't know
i knew them
now i will never know them better
they will never know me better
is that why? or is it because they are gone?
