Petals Fade

Posted on September 27, 2019 | 15 Comments

We had a sunny day mixed with rain yesterday. I took this photo of a rose bush in my yard.

I thought it was beautiful how the rain droplet was held within its petals like arms holding onto the end of summer.

It inspired me to write a haiku:

Last bloom before frost?

Petals fade but one remains…

Unfolding with hope.

May you find hope in the beauty that surrounds you.

Cheers! 🙂

    Beautiful in words and vision Jill. The rain has certainly come …. a months rain within 12 hours here in places.

    The flowers will fade away but the word never fails.
