Some flowers look good when they're dead...
crisp, with a muted color

Catch that moment and keep it near...
like the memory of a fuller, yet gladly forsaken youth

Still, others fall victim to the rain…
dissolving and bleeding into the soil

Reminding us of our daily toils...
and its futility against the odds

...just bein' Bluesy

like they say, tomorrow isn't promised, we only have today which is the present. That is why we call it a gift.

"and its futility against the odds"

We all know, but many fail to understand the the odds. Even those who believe the odds stacked against them make up fanciful places they will to to after death. I am no exception. I passionately believe in reincarnation. Excellent write.
