Analysis of Ashes of Roses
Where have you gone?
How much joy and scent have you given out!
Your life may be short in hours, days,
but the scent of the petals will last.
You were once young and vibrant,
soft, fresh and fragrant
But your life is short --
now you are dried and crumbled
Like our yesterday's dreams
But in life one thing is certain
memories will bring you back
Each fragrant, each petal, each soft touch will forever last
Dried Petals of Flowers
Where have you gone?
