May i retreat?
Furl my petals
back into my kernel.
Time needed to nurture,
to clutch my heart,
to hold the pieces back.
Mending, with each day,
strength bulging veins,
making ready for one last
bloom before my death.

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, ring out the old, ring in the new,ring out the false, ring in the true..A Lord Tennyson

Beautiful yes, but with sadness within it.
Loved this.

I'm sure the inner beauty of your flower, will water the spring traces of your bower.  A beautiful poem!
