Step one – admiration.
This is the good one.
When pink petals appear
as blossom,
cold of winter gone,
bringing hope of spring.
Step two – falling.
It can look almost like snow
when wind blows it
and it floats to the ground
not making a sound.
Step three – sitting.
Not much happens here.
They just sort of sit there.
This is when they start
getting walked over a little bit
their beauty fades
to be replaced by younger green.
Step four – disappearing.
Over time, rain and mud
and feet and wind and tyres
wear them to the ground
they degrade
they’re gone
forgotten.
Repeat.
