This Dying Flower

by Nicole M. - Gemini

This dying flower
Has been exposed
To frost bite
Gail force winds
Monsoons
Triple digit temperatures
And the feet
Of three year olds.
It was once
Pumping life
Through itself
Lush green leaves
And a sturdy stem
Tempting purple petals
Roots straining to reach
The earth's other side-
But it succumed
To mother nature's
Elements
Took the easy way out
And let death take it's place
  ...............
  ...............
  ...............
But that gardener
Won't let her
Go so easily.
