Flowers

You stand underneath the trees branches

Branches full of bloomed fushia colored flowers

Flowers that symbolize beauty yet strength

Strength while swaying in the high winds

Winds that provide solice to rising temperatures

Temperatures that are now showing the side effects

Side effects of climate change, growth, death

Death, he laid in the casket, eyes shut

Shut out the grief from my heart, expunged it

It was so cold that day of his funeral, yet it was 

Was a celebration of his life, but the tears

Tears kept streaming down my face

My face pale and puffy eyes

Eyes that see more than his dead body

Body that had memories of loving the last child

The last child of his who will never forget
