Life Does Not Want Us

Crunch of the autumn leaves

Grass turning the color of mud

Sky gray with sorrow


Rightfully so, many are crying

People often find comfort in this weather

Not today, today we bury a precious flower


Loved by all except life itself

But it is not a problem for the flower

Death has enough love for them


Many have no understanding of death

But it accepts all plants nonetheless

They fear death, until they wither


Delicate petals held in delicate hands

Death is gentler than a thin sheet of ice

They kindly holds a hand out for the taking


It is time for the little flower

A blanket of dirt made for them

The plant, finally safe, finally home


The author's comments:

A different take on death, my take on death. It is the reason I don't fear dying, I find comfort in the thought that one day, we will stop existing.
