Petal by petal

Petal by petal
Not in the best of moods while posting this. But somehow got to thinking about this beautiful and sad Amy Lowell poem NIKON D300 (200mm, f/6.3, 1/15 sec, ISO200)
:

Life is a stream
On which we strew
Petal by petal the flower of our heart;
The end lost in dream,
They float past our view,
We only watch their glad, early start.
Freighted with hope,
Crimsoned with joy,
We scatter the leaves of our opening rose;
Their widening scope,
Their distant employ,
We never shall know. And the stream as it flows
Sweeps them away,
Each one is gone
Ever beyond into infinite ways.
We alone stay
While years hurry on,
The flower fared forth, though its fragrance still stays
