Death to a flower
The season draws to an end
Stalk and leaf melt
And their heads finally bend
Settling in for sleep
Yesterday still a light thought
Crushing petals
Winter was finally caught
They lay down their pride
To a soft and easy breath
Stronger in dream
Smiling, conceding to death
Dead rest with comrades
But they too lay amongst foes
Caring nothing
With a deep sigh, so it goes
