A Sprinkling of Petals

A sprinkling of petals
fall to the ground,
with hushed tones,
and shattered dreams.

A sprinkling of petals
fall to the ground,
with soft moans,
and secrets left untold.

A sprinkling of petals
fall to the ground,
with silent tears,
for a child gone before their time.

A sprinkling of petals
swept away by the breeze,
but never from our memories.
December 1999
