Streets of Petals
By: A. L. Bengal

Like rose-colored snowflakes they fall
Like a ballet in air
Gliding, turning, gracefully descending
To the streets tread by heroes

Like a blanket they cover the stone
Clouds of sunrise pinks
Their velvet skins replacing sandpaper
On the streets tread by heroes

The hero reaches up his trembling fingers
Letting the petals fall into the palm of his hand
And his boots push through the streets
Tread by heroes

The petals brush against new wounds
Wounds won in battles just fought
And the crowds are cheering
On the streets laced with petals

Another second gone by, more petals fall
he stoops and scoops up a handful
Caressing the velvety feathers in his fingertips
and the people cheer on
through the streets of petal.
