The Rose that Dried ....

 

"The Rose that Dried"

** As I browsed through some old books, I came across the fondly placed rose in between the pages during childhood ... as I held it, some memories rippled of days gone by; but the emotions that it was placed with was gone ... the rose that was once bright red had lost had lost it's color … the aromatic smell of the rose was lost … the softness of the petal had turned rough and crumbled … attachments had all faded with passing of time ... the dried rose now in hand just crumbled to pieces … 

** The rose that was placed in between the pages had gone, leaving only a stain … the rose that once brought smile, memories, happiness was now gone leaving a huge void ... as I looked back to collect some of the crumbled pieces, there was nothing left in sight ... sigh!!! the wind had mercilessly blown them all away ... all that remained now was a jigsaw puzzle in my mind that could no more be solved ... 

** With only a stick helping me hold on to life, I gathered myself and moved on with a heavy heart ... after all, the Rose had lived it's life ...
