The Garden Flower
by Chrissy/Zinnia
My petals are heavy
My leaves are starting to crumble and
My stem is wilting from the weight.
Soon, I will be nestled in the leaves
A quilted blanket of crimson, orange, and brilliant yellow.
I will be given to the earth once again.
I shall pass, unnoticed.
After my world has dissolved,
On a glorious sun-kissed day
May I warm my face against a sunbeam,
Dance in the breeze, and
see your amorous face again.

Very well written. I saw the Zinnia's in my yard that are doing the same thing as I read the poem.

Summer Yearnings by Chrissy:
In the Winter I shall miss....
the chorus of nature,
the ambition of the night,
and the eagerness of the day.
