The withering

On a rainy day, faraway
a withering flower 
whispered a poem.

The winds of the mind 
carried it afar
via words
burdened with their own weight.

For where medicines
and meditations may fail
Words work.

For they carry...
love,
the warmest of words,
the lightest of feelings.

The winds stop, 
the clouds pour,
the body pauses, 
the soul cleanses, 
the mind cries.

The poet always 
loves, and 
tries.
