one lone rose <br />opened by the sun, <br />the faint memory of rain, <br />and the dark damp earth. <br /> <br />reaching to the sky, <br />petals yearning, at peace... <br />then, without regret, <br />wilting back into nothingness... <br /> <br />and no one saw!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-buddha-s-eternal-moment/
