Beautiful, simple, & I love the message, so much in so few words

I loved this, it is as perfect as the sky just the way it is. Beautiful, simple, & I love the message, so much in so few words, I love that.

hello serene

yes I feel death is profound in that it is more of a beautiful thing, yes it is heartbreaking losing your loved one as I have lost my mother to breast cancer but I wrote this for her to celebrate her new journey and life. p.s. the name is kyrie

Says it all really...

Well, well, well, what a fantastic one this is... be it a poppy in a field of red, or a rose with its petals shed... this has so many meanings and so many levels to it... A flower to mark a place of death, flowers on a grave, flowers of remeberence, and out bodies give the soil some nutrients to grow so more flowers and things... a gift of a flowers to another... flowers are a special language with no words... used to express so much. Place the seed of your favourite flower in the heart of someone you love who has died... that heart will grow and nuture that seed into full bloom and when you meet in the next life... they can hand it to you with a smile. You have put it to perfection here in a simple in your face poem. Bravo! Dale :)

Beauty is in the eye of the flower. A great japanese form done wonderfully! ____________________________________________________ Income-tax forms should be more realistic by allowing the taxpayer to list "Uncle Sam" as a dependent Anonymous
