I rode down into the valley
As I stood there and stared
Out into the vast open plain
I noticed....

I noticed that there were no flowers
No tiny blossoms. No tiny Buds
Tumble weeds rolled across the dust.
Tumble weeds...

Flowers long past which have died and dried.
All bundled up in an impromptu collaboration
Collaboration of disunity.
No Flowers

No flowers just remnants of things far gone
Dust and Bones
Nonexistent smiles of joy and happiness
Just Dust and Bones

wow....i think that this is my most favourite poem by you thus far..
it was really powerful with its images...of dust and bones contrasted with the flowers and buds.
great poem- very well written..i loved it!

Wow!!!! Sarah this was great! I really really liked the whole poem. Amazing job on this one.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Jeez, Sarah. This is fantastic! I don't know how I missed this one. Dust and bones is a great title name for this piece.

Well done!
