Dried roses and baby’s breath sit atop of each other<\/p>\n
In a vase of transparent glass<\/p>\n
They seem so comfortable and well suited<\/p>\n
Glass and dried flowers beautifully matched in a transitional phase<\/p>\n
A reflection of the full budded roses<\/p>\n
That filled the vase several weeks ago<\/p>\n
Rich, vibrant and radiant<\/p>\n
In their youth and freshness<\/p>\n
With the promise and potential<\/p>\n
Of a full blown bouquet<\/p>\n
Weeks later the arrangement is alive<\/p>\n
but now, red roses sits with red and purple black petals<\/p>\n
Preserved by drying and oil<\/p>\n
Still beautiful in their dying<\/p>\n
But no vibrancy<\/p>\n
Seeing this causes one to ponder life<\/p>\n
The contrast of youthful years<\/p>\n
And the not so youthful ones<\/p>\n
There’s death in life<\/p>\n
Young and vibrant today,<\/p>\n
Gone tomorrow<\/p>\n
