Why Does Death Bring Flowers

Learning of your passing

I sit down and ask him

“Death?”

“Why are you bringing me flowers”

“For the day becomes the moon

So the dead they always bloom

When spring becomes the cold

Love will always grow old

You can keep a flower

Sure

But understand

The seed is much like man

It needs love and affection

Light and attention

One day you will understand

Seeds will grow old

Maybe even get sick

Maybe become trampled

Or randomly picked

I don’t give you this by

Accident

But as a reminder of the loss

Flowers are the ones

We hold dear to our hearts

So take a chance to smell them

That’s all I have to say“

Death wrote me a poem

Today

And inscribed on the top

I seen your name

As devastating as that may be

I loved the flowers

Death left me!
