September Elegy
by
Randy Cadenhead

I passed by your grave today
and happened this time to pause.

It was the first day to smell of Fall -
cool, as it was, with an early dark.

Kneeling beside your name,
I saw what seemed a scrap of yellow -

a frayed silk petal in a poignant shade,
from another’s memory of you.

Time, it seems, may fade the finest flower,
but the memory of love lives on.
