It was beautiful in the fall
I didn't see it coming
I thought surely
This was just a complicated
Dance step done with agility
Then the stem snapped
The white petals fell to the floor
I didn't see the bone break
I heard the scream
I was stunned into a cloudy day
My sadness was head over heels
The music stopped
The stab at grace ended
People rushed to her aid
I went to breakfast of tragedy
The miscalculation
Caused me to fall into
Unending sadness
Since that day
I have been terrified
Of the pursuit of grace and beauty
