Ephemeral Flowers

Noveyre

Ephemeral flowers 

whom in spring are quick to bloom 

but wilt and fail in August, 

how soon they are to gloom. 

 

Unfortunate it is, that they will

easily decay 

that something so sweet, 

is gone the next day. 

 

And petals turn to loam, 

colors submit to memory, 

at least this vase we have 

to use for next year's planting.

    flowers look good in every spectrum

    This is short, sweet, tragic and heavy all at the same time. Well done.
