ELEGY Poem: LAMENT, by Nicole Langley

23.

Why would I be
scared of growing
old
Knowing you will
still look upon me?
I so look forward to
seeing your trunk
grow rings and
To be able to truly
Live my life as a
flower,
emphasizing the
Temporary.
To be able to sink
into the soil,
rot with the
underbrush,
and wilt under the
shade of your bough.
