Flower, oh Flower, the bud of your bloom shakes and quivers <br /> to life, silently blossoming into your profound glory of <br /> color and radiance for the whole of the world to see. <br /> Basking in the warm ray of the sun, you cast your beauty upon <br /> the fields of green, confident that your splendor will last <br /> for all time. <br /> <br /> Days pass to months and weather has taken its toll within <br /> your heart that once stood against the wind with strength <br /> and courage, only to be mocked by nature for it is nature <br /> that reminds one of there frailty. <br /> <br /> Vibrant colors that once shone so bright, now fades with every <br /> pedal you release. Silently dying among others that flourish, <br /> you succumb to your fate as you lay what was once beautiful, <br /> to rest.<br /><br />Pam Thomas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/silently-2/
