Swirling about, letting the petals drift.
Touching upon your cheek briefly, an upturned touch of scarlet.
Floating, drifting, swimming along
the current, the present, the now.

I throw out a eager hand, and pluck a single petal from the air,  inhaling the simplicity.
A brush stroke, carelessly flung upwards on pale parchment without a care.
One of million that encircle my closed mind,
Enticing me to accompany them in harmonizing a crimson symphony.

I can join the multitudes roaming the land, forever enthralled, never settling.
Or let the petal escape into unforgiving wind, and never again hold the same petal.

The blade, the petal that rests in my hand.
It brings  victory for one, brings unrest to the other.

I lie back, petal still clutched within my fist.
I'll dance among the petals some other day.
Random poem I wrote. It talks of how we are often handed a decision that will change our lives, and how we need more time to understand the full implications of what our decisions can bring.

And how once we let that chance go, we'll most likely never see it again.

It's a double-sided sword, that choices that we have. Many of the times, we make decisions, unaware that while it may have seemed the best, it actually has done harm in a different way.

Enjoy!
