I was saddened
by the fall,
petal had become so familiar
in the last few months ....
petal was in on it all ...
sitting on my window ledge
her beauty greeted me before the sun ...
and now petal
How did I get to be this sentimental over a petal?
I suppose living and breathing imagery
through my windows
has something to do with it ...
the petals have become a part
of my daily capturing,
they were the constant as the seasons changed ...
the petals shared my sense of being
and belonging to it all.

Your "Ode to a Petal" speaks for all life gone.
Still, there will always be another orchid to be admired and celebrated with such loving images.
i hope you press the flower....in a favorite book.
