on my bedroom dresser,
demise blooms from cracked petals and dried stems,
rubbing against a dusty glass vase. 

each flower once flourishing and loved--
only to be hung upside down,
and left to die in a dank closet. 

Live, Laugh, Love.
The beautiful flowers of earth sprout from the seeded soil,
The trees blow back and fourth with the rythem of the wind,
the ocean swells into giant pool along the rock cliffs of life,
