Throwing Petals

Sometimes I throw
petals to the wind.
I expect them to dwindle there--
To dance in the astral sky,
But they rarely do.
I turn my back and flee
When I run from floating petals,
But the breezes bring them closer.
They whip about my face
Painting dark and dreary scenes
With wisps of wondrous hues.
Why I ever toss them wayward
I will never truly know.
Their presence is perfection
And their absence loss of heart.
Quite often they besiege me
When my mind is filled with wonder.
Perhaps one day I won't mind--
They'll encompass me forever.
Maybe they'll sail onward
On a clear and pulsing current,
But I fear their bright existence
For it marks the end of mine.
