rose bud bloom
decided on its own colour
catching random raindrops
she danced each spring
a calla lily
ivory water cup
opens like a scroll
makes my heart sing
dry dusty petals
always winter
a ballerina once
no longer remembering
****
a swan song
the seasons changed her dance
robbed of her wings
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
Thanks for following a cowgirl on her crazy life journey.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. - Edgar Allan Poe

Beautiful poem and a cause behind it that we need to be more aware of. One day our world can be colourful, and another not so. Best wishes, Leslie.

An apt description, Leslie. My mom had dementia. Such an emptying disease.
