“Cast Petals Softly Fall”.

[Bernard de Silva]

“Cast Petals Softly Fall”.

They fall, as tears of sorrow,
the petals cast into the grave.
Like to dreams of tomorrow,
fragile pieces none may save.

Lingering a sweet fragrance,
lost in passage to the ground.
Sad petals in a dark expanse,
fall to earth with not a sound.

None to feel their soft caress,
save fresh turned earthy clay.
A coverlet, finality to express,
the petals lie there in disarray.

Bernie, that's heartfelt mate. My wife and I shed a tear when we read that.
Still praying for you.

Tom.

3rd line, first stanza - 'the' rather than 'to' ?

It's perfect Bernie, just perfect.
