White roses
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 ~
