Wither Away

Crimson bliss

Deep hue;

Petals blush

Drunk on dew;

Oblivious though

To a ticking cue…

The red’s with an earthy tinge.

Tick Tock, Tick Tock…

Quietly, and slowly so

Now like leaves, they are all falling off,

Even with my spirit left

My petals leave the stalk…

I exist now just in air

Freshness and fragrance lingering somewhere.

Sure with time I withered away

Like all that exists will someday.

But a smile I bring to every heart

And leave some timeless memories when I depart…
