White Roses




White roses
scent drifts
solemn breeze
carries me...

Delicate petals
gingerly
placed
mournful -

Reflect
black granite
mementos
perfection
in each bud...

Thoughtful
colors
of the season
fall
upon me -

Mums
pumpkin orange
shades of gold
sunlight yellow
...acknowledge
no one leaves
this place
unmoved
by the stillness
and grace -

Engraved
stone tells a story
I continue to weep
moments
hold memories
tenderly
bitter sweet -

Finger tips
reluctantly
trace
the end of life ~
