I peel open my eyes
to reveal an ethereal
water color sky
it is peaceful
it is silent
no one else around
not a soul, not a sound
my eyes blink
then I think
and wonder why
do I feel a little horrified
I was embedded by carnations
from people
who were trying to show their admirations
toward whom?
who? me? what?
"I will always love you"
whispered the orchid
I recall feeling blue
and my vision became distorted
the peach colored horizon has faded
WAIT!
DONT GO!
but the sun, or sky, or time
can never be persuaded
