Sitting here beneath a star-filled sky, a familiar scent stirs fond memories.
On this spot, a new bud first stretched its petals towards the warmth of a spring sun.
Carefree children at play, we happily chased butterflies as they fluttered across the meadow.
Against the red-gold glow of a summer evening sky; this young flower flourished in strength and beauty.
As wide-eyed adolescents, we lay down in the soft grass eagerly dreaming of the future while the fireflies danced overhead.
In the cool breeze of autumn, this delicate blossom shivered ready to cast off its old form.
So too did the winds of change touch us as we stood ready to dawn the mantle of adulthood.
From far beyond the horizon, a voice called to you to follow a new path.
Under a blanket of winter snow this bloom slept, just waiting to flower once more.
Then at last came that fateful day.
With open hearts and a final embrace in the early morning light, we said our goodbyes.
I hoped that your journey would bring fulfillment, watching you set off for parts unknown.
Many seasons have passed over this once lush landscape.
One flower still thrives, its perfume floating gently upon the wind.
Staring out across the sea tonight, I wonder if this sweet fragrance might reach distant shores to awaken memories anew
From this blossom that will stand as a symbol of remembrance eternal;
Of treasured time with you.
