Whats Going On....Say It With Flowers


 you always said it with flowers

your beautiful photographs

gracing our walls



you are still with me

but have left me as well

now but a mere shadow

of your former self

the cruelty of age

and its spear carriers

shows no mercy

  1. Age is indeed a spear carrier.... thankfully there are the lasting memories of the beautiful flowers.

  2. The sense of loss is so beautifully conveyed and in stark contrast to the beauty of the flowers themselves - Jae

  6. Very touching and emotional. This is the sadness of aging:
    "you are still with me
    but have left me as well" and is heartbreaking.
