Not A Flower

in silence,
flower petals drop
to the floor
forgotten.
withering.
left in the quiet room
accompanied only
by the rocking chair's creak
waiting,
waiting,
waiting,
for someone,
to fill this space.
not just a body,
but a spirit
with laughter.
bringing with them
a watering can,
coaxing the petals
to once again grow.
