Petals in Peril

Elegy Of Endings

By Kenneth cruzPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

Soft petals like snowflakes gently fall.

In a delicate last dance they float.

Like a final swan song before curtain call.

Exasperated by the sudden ending she wrote.

Now I know, no antidote can forestall.

Corrosion is inevitable, and compassion can be usurped by rot.

Endings are inescapable, despite gifts and forget me nots, like a petal love wilts and drops.
