The young and vibrant are praised just because–
all that color and life a grace.
But even in the light grip of the wounded and aged–the letting go–
there is a glory.
There is beauty in the fallen and glory in the shadows.
Loss is not loss, just change; and
all is grace.
Perfect photos for your words, Lily!
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was so amazing to me that the dying ones had such beauty, so got me thinking.
DeleteAre those fallen blooms Camelias by any chance? A very poignant accompanying verse Lilly. Thanks for sharing and stopping by my blog. Wishing you a joy-filled week.
