A Flower in it's Snares

A withering flower in its snares
..Dry soil
Roots are searching for a drop of water
Towards the sky, leafs are pleading for rain
Only left to face the burning sun
Its rays are resolute to attack
The beauty of its petals
Crunching in dryness
Graceful height looks weakened
The final energies depart
Its lifelessness remains
To Some its untoiced
To some new beauty appears
Giving life an eternity
