The Petal

The optimistic version of "The Leaf".

The petal has floated into a new vast world

The wind of harmony uplifts the petal

The petal is drifting with serendipity 

The petal is in love

Bliss is all I see, floating on winds that freed me

Dancing with others in a swooning flurry

How long will nirvana last without my tree

Time, please do not hurry 

Pity the perennial

They are isolated from winds of passion

Never taking a chance, never will they see unknown beauty 

Why are they watching us while we explore all of mother nature's creation

Fading, the sun relinquishes my mortal soul

Withering away, the earth is reaping me

Crumbling, winds spread my ashes into the sunset

I am ready, sweet death
