{w} flower: rose petal

"A ROSE PETAL BREAKS AWAY
FLEEING ITS BEAUTIFUL SANCTUARY,
ADVENTUROUS, ITS DESCENT IS GRACEFUL YET BITTERSWEET
AS IT SITS IN SOLITUDE AMONGST THE TALL WEEDS.
A SMALL BOY ROLLING IN THE GRASS
SPOTS THE LONESOME PETAL AND ELATED GRASPS IT,
TAKING IN THE INVIGORATING SCENT
OF HIS NEW SUMMER TREAT.
SOMETIMES THE SMALLEST THINGS IN LIFE,
EVEN THE DISCOVERY OF A SINGLE ROSE PETAL
CAN BRING PURE JOY.
ALL WE SIMPLY NEED TO DO
IS OPEN OUR EYES"
