Coffin Rose

The magic of its beauty

Sadness of its purpose

Clashing now together

While thrown onto the coffin's surface.

That morning just a flower

Swaying peacefully in the breeze

Now in your hands a goodbye

To allow the pain to ease

As you set it down

Tears streaming down your face

Saying goodbye to the loved one

Knowing they are in a better place

One simple rose

Seeming so insignificant to the world

Crying as its existence comes to an end

Yearning for its story to be told

Its short lived life ending so fast

Living for its purpose as a symbol of goodbye

Covered with its eternal bed of soil

And there forever it will lie.
