Wilt In pain I watched the flower wilt Slain with wear and not with guilt Drooping o’er the lip of stage Dieing in the grip of age. And shadows shrunk upon the floor Breaking down the changing awe Surrendering its grace of space Its splendor of Chantilly lace And paler did the light descend Augmenting sadness of the end As fantasy propelled the show This curtain of scenario And weariness embraced my soul The wasting of a lovers shoal The dimming of a bright Harrah The ending of a guiding star For now my ship has lost its way And skies have turned from blue to gray |

A painful impression of decline. There is a grace and dignity to this though. A fine write. I can't help it, I'm thinking of Fay Wray... |

Good morning??? Mr. T.??? Oh my, Sir Sigh! The other flowers in your garden may be wilting, but you are a magnificent sunflower! ~ taller, hardier, brighter and showier that all the rest of those shrinking violets!   Even Apollo would admire your radiance! ~ Except on one of your gray days!  Loveya, EA  |

 I cannot help but feel the sadness with this. It is a sad thing that flowers wilt all too soon...flowers of any kind. But the good thing, I think, is that they grew, flourished, drank in the sun, beautified their surroundings, and sometimes blossomed, right? Right! ....jo |
