The Orchid Garden MAG
February 15, 2014
The day that can only be described by
sorrow and sadness is marked by the
procession led by
a jar of ashes.
She walks past rows of melodic voices and eyes red from saltwater, exiting gracefully from the world that embraced her.
Her troubles,
Her disease,
Her alligator green sweaters,
all things that touched the lives of those around her.
Soon, the only sounds that remain are the splashes from the stream in Her orchid garden.
She is now with the lake and the rook and the dirt and Her orchid garden.
The sun sets upon her garden as she smiles
one last time.

I love the word choices. This really kindles sadness, but at the same time, I can sense peace...a sense of finality. Beautiful.
