When Yellow Petals Fall

roses often bring memories

The roses bloom well this year.
So I cut the golden bounty and bring it to my mantlepiece,
beside the photos there.
A glorious burst of scent and memories.
I arranged them in a bowl
Just as mother had, so long ago.
I touched each thorn gently
For they promised pain amidst the beauty.
Then memories came.
I beheld the bowl on the mantle, by the wall
And wept as yellow petals fall
Like happier days long past.
Yes roses weep
I see their tears
When yellow petals fall.

Much poignancy in these lines: yellow roses, the color of friendship. Beautifully, achingly penned, Olita.

How beautiful how a single petal can take you in leaps and bounds across the years.

Roses, my favortes flower, hold so much more meaning with your words.

Thank you--RaeLynn
