A Petal
by Rhonda Maneki
So, delicate,
A scented ivory
rose petal,
velvet soft
splendor to the
touch. Slowly
releases.
~floating~
~flutters~
-breathe-
~hovers~
Just before
it settles
upon the floor.
In its decent
to reality.
From A crown of
once blooming
glory.
To become fading
memory Yet, its
scent remains,
lingering within
the senses.

Author's Note: I watched a petal fall...it hovered then slipped into a memory.
