Every choice creates new opportunities

When I burn beautiful flowers 

I wonder if I will smell pure bliss or smoke?

Will I feel anything at all?

Will I see the charring?

Will it grow back, torched, licked by flames?

Will it ever be the same?


When I burn beautiful flowers

I picture segments of stories written 

Crumbling line by line 

Reversing such beauty


I see layers of burned beauty 

Settling down 

Hiding itself from further pain 


I hope they return 

Because I like color
