Poem: Elegy

Writing prompt on Bluesky. Write an elegy.

A song for what was 
a fragile flower 
nurtured from seed 
to soft bud 
that spread its petals 
to greet the sun 
in a brief moment of glory 
in the warmth of Life 
but gone too soon 
as the winter's snows 
fall on the ground 
and the leaves 
fall weeping 
to mourn.
