Have you ever seen a flower
 grow by nine 
and die by ten?

A Moments Bloom

I think this is a really brave poem - it took me a while to get my head around it, but I love it

This poem is like the flower it describes, but in this case its &quot;death&quot; isn&#39;t sad. It needed to end there, so it did. Wonderful.
