Under the shadow of life I sit watching Mother Earth in all her glory. I’ve never lived a day so joyous as this to witness the beauty of her story. The way they flutter in the light is heavenly and graceful. All of the intoxicating aromas traveling with the wind. Their petals are delicate and bright, towards the sun they bend. As I enjoy the wonders of the day, she gently consumes my sight. I know this is the end, there is no more reason to fight. I look at her and grin, “Goodbye my friend”
