Analysis of Flower at the gravestone
A final breath was taken at the foot of a family grave that hadn't been visited in ten years.
Their body lay their for almost a day like a visitation.
Tears fell from its eyes as it grew colder and like a flower its spirit crossed to the other side to drink the peaceful waters of the love.
