Softly

Softly,
Ever so softly,
The petals fall and land.
They land all around,
Sometimes even on me,

Softly,
Ever so softly,
The petals fall and land,
As we hold each others hands.

Softly,
Ever so softly,
The petals fall and land,
As I wave in a promise to see you again.

Softly,
Ever so softly,
The petals fall and land,
As we hold hands again.

Softly,
Ever so softly,
The petals fall and land,
As tears roll down,
Making contact with the ground.

Softly,
Ever so softly,
The petals fall and land,
A natural dance,
An elegant dance,
Performed once a year,
And it is here,
We conclude this tale.
A tale of love,
A tale of woe,
A tale that begins,
And must always end.
A tale so simple and intricate,
That the only way to truly understand,
Is to watch the petals,
As softly,
Ever so softly,
The fall and they land.
Again,
And again.
