...fallen petals ~ beauty reflections


~ fallen petals ~

fallen petals
shriveling in the light




even unattached
you smell wonderful
your soft colors still delight!


 
pretty petals ~
i've reserved a special jar for you


  
to place upon my shelf
so your beauty may still shine through...


 
and though you may be shrinking
please know
that each time i cast a gaze your way




i will see you in all your glory
blooming ever so lovely for those very short lived days...




ah yes,
beautiful fallen petals
i truly appreciate your style!



 
you appear even more graceful
through the glass that i peer through,

 as i sit and reflect
and wonder,
...does my beauty shine through too??

~
reflective poetry be me... 


enjoy your days my dear ones!!

    How beautiful that you have captured the fallen flowers and placed them in a lovely vintage jar. They are so deserving of the lace.

    Lovely poem! I save fallen petals too. They are in mason jars, like yours. I also dye fabric with them. just did some petunias, muslin came out a lovely rose color and the sheer fabric a dusty gray. Lots of fun.
