Take the flower
from the garden
twist the stem
it will bleed bitter sap
a single perfumed
tear
will stain one leaf
Conscripted
To blossom
a w a y
she will hold her carbon dioxide
Breath
And scorn a blessed sun
Petals dry an elegant
Death
Beauty
Wilts
In
isolation

Petals dry an elegant

In

I find that God has planted much truth and wisdom in nature for us to understand.
