Violet

by vague-rememberance

Sweet soft powdery scent, Your warm tiny body held in my little hand, And our cord still pumping, I gaze at you and hear the name "Celine" whispered from the corners of my head. I can sometimes still feel you in my hand if I position just right. Your blanket no longer smells of that sweet powdery scent but I press it to my chest evermore. My tears burn of violet essence as they roll onto your blanket. The cry I wish I heard haunts me more than anything. The most delicate flower I have ever seen has been diminished into ash and put in this small heart shaped container. Although beautiful nothing compares to a flower still connected to mother earth basking in the sun and swaying in a light breeze. In a field of wild flowers you stand out and I can still smell your sweet soft powdery scent. Your skin as soft as flower petals, Your nose as small as a delicate leaf, And the cord no longer pumping similar to a flower being plucked from the ground. As I know too well a flower once picked will soon meet its demise. But you are the most beautiful flower, and I will never forget the scent of you, The feel of you, Nor can you ever be replaced. Finding the most perfect flower is impossible and I did.

For my baby Celine Violet.

Readers: please take this as a reminder that life is short and although our times with some loved ones may be too short the memories of them can impact our lives. Be kind to one another because you never know what anyone is going through.
