It carried flowers

lossnaturemusicmemoryloveidentity

It carried flowers

Displayed as tokens

A declaration

Of love

A celebration of empathy

As lovers souls combined

A single rose

Was all it took

To remember

The love divine

A unique standing

Proudly bloomed

A red blush

Above a long slim neck

Crystal cut

Damaged now

A sad disarray

Of splinters

Glittering in strips of

Alabaster moonlight

Wilted petals

Bleeding into water spill

It fell to earth

Slipping through fingers

In aftershock

A broken vase

Once filled with love

Now an accidental

Augury of loss
