She is …
The -last petal
…
The final stage of this bloom…
The eventual petal …
That shall bear its place…
– to softly collapse, she is …
Soft, softly falling,
winding her way through an airway,
Through the passage …
The passage of the season … she exhaled …
she….
breathes upon blades -sharpened
-await
her soft speech,
she is soft,
softly….
softening..
Soft,
sweet,
soft… Feet.
She
Walks.
a stride that leaves
behind –
An arrangement
petals, flowering..
She grows. She grows from soil;
each sunrise
her ascent is apparent.
She was sent
to be –
a parent. In describing her waltz,
it’s easiest to explain her trickling flow …
through an illustration -she’s in,
a creek bed she readily defines-
She mines natures grace then gives
back to us..
She is the face and act that us – aspire to know.
To know – To truly know
her is to witness wisdom.
She releases with the ease of an artiste.. as she easily outlines -without lines she
leaves this canvass –
weaves through each –
Whistling leaf, she settles in
wind
then reads love letters in
a silent speech.
Smart is she.
She is sun and stars ..
.. Stone solid even in squalid -condition her vision gives her per
(mission) to do her
rendition -sending a scent of bourbon whiskey.. For those close she is quickly drifting –
leaving all in her wake
following her with a patience to wait …
with a warm chest, drunk in & drunken
A stagger–
.. While she,
sails With -in
Breathes the wind
It sings with soft chime-
she is authority that allows this -to rhyme.
She is.
