Sounds
of a
guilty
silence
we are like flowers
we are on this world like flowers
delicate or less sensitive
less or more Ia snng - but all
singular and fleeting...
we are numerous, varied, seemingly everlasting
growing, developing, spreading - flourishing
we need a lot of light to live and countless other things
but all this does not help
there comes a time when we dry out...
we wither - leaving this world, vanishing
slowly and separately we depart from scenary
forsaking our loved ones (and maybe our enemies?)
causing pain and an irreplaceable void
without us they also change, fit less the scenery
other flowers can be planted - but the aroma and the decor
of those that disappeared stay in memory - does not return
sad without them - people cry
they cry even when they are silent
they search, reminisce -
we are all like flowers beautiful, rare
always dear to someone, attached to someone
dependent from somebody
tied with someone
awful when we fade away
