Create a story or poem with the theme of 'Dead Roses'.
Bittersweet
Essence and elegence
The floral aromas rise subdued
Stately they seem
High, pristine
What once was life
Cherished on a mantle
Forgotten in a box in the attic
Preserved, revered
A memory maybe dear
Constant they whisper
Echos of sweeter yesterday
Once life, now frozen; unchanging
Delicately the rose rests
Untouched it remains
collecting dust
Future restrains
Never willing to look ahead
Because clearly,
The best has been
And it is dead
