Ephemeral:Please don’t go

[Guest The Phantom]

Be it Birthdays, dance recitals, or as a thoughtful gesture, many are delighted to receive bouquets of the lush fleeting luxury. While the act itself is sweet, I do not like to get flowers as a gift. As a matter of fact, I am likely to act happy to receive them, only because I don’t want to appear ungrateful. The truth is that I find it sad to watch such beauty, once full of life, slowly wilt and shrivel into a brown crunchy shell of it’s former self. I do not like the short lived, preferring stable things that last a long time. Baloons deflate, snowmen melt, Christmas trees dry up, sand castles wash away, and flowers wither. Why must things be only temporary?

I don't get flowers like that, I usually get seeds and pots and dirt so we can grow life together and sustain it.. Or perhaps an already grown potted plant, to take care of. But I agree, I don't like flowers being picked
