wind blown petals fall to earth
beauty in decay

Wow, it’s interesting to read this haiku after reading Kelly’s today and Gillena’s in the comments. All show something beautiful and valuable falling. And then in your haiku the 3rd line focuses on beauty. Very poignant.

I’ve heard it said that the reason flowers are so beautiful is because they are dying — that they are most brilliant in their death.

the joy seen in both life and death in nature,
beautifully expressed.
