wasted
wasting away
barely bloomed
and already falling
moisture kiss
condensation brought
from nowhere
left crystalline
drops on petals
awakened
opened
lily of the valley
scent
wafts
so fast
too fast
perhaps to be plucked
stolen
ravaged
left crumpled
on dry soil
no hope for
reattachment
a cliche
a final
soliloquy
"loved you"
trapped
metaphorically speaking
dead flower
becomes
nothing.

Orchids are such delicate tropical flowers. They need just the right amount of warmth and moisture and light. Too much or too little and they wither.
But they are also pretty resilient when conditions return to ideal...they bloom strong again.
.....in a box
or a cage...
