Weep No More

A vast dessert beneath a grand sun

A breeze just to know I am there

A subtle existence that hungers for more

Gazing outward I am empty

Seeking life beyond my petals

Born into nothingness

I weep

Sun sets.

Stars fall.

Sun rises.

A breeze just to know I am there.

And I weep.

My petals fall

In the depth of my gathered tears

Below my fading stance

Nothing remains.

Gust of wind emerges

In the distance my gaze follows

Yellow hints of color sway

My stance engaged

Ebs and flows with the vision ahead

Rapidly in view

I move.

I follow.

Reaching.

Hoping.

I rise.

Above me the gust subsides.

To my side your petals grace.

And I weep no more.
