Notes

Pretty little ginger flowers

The sun smiled as she grabbed her walking stick on that cheerful morning in late October, it was like the sun mocked the woman as she helplessly walked towards the door where it hid the troubles that she was facing recently. As she gently turned the key and opened the door to the relief waiting for her. She stood outside and smiled as she saw the happiness to her slowly lasting life, she inhaled the greetings from the ginger flowers that were standing tall as they waved at the poor women. In the last few months everything was amazing for her, she had little to no worries in the life, however she knew that it wouldn’t last for long, she spent those months caring for the flowers that she’d only known, it was the closest thing to a friend that she had, no matter how bad it got, the proud ginger flower was always there until it was time.

As much as the woman knew that she didn’t have much left in her, the flowers believed and hoped that she would make it through it all. The flowers didn’t have much left either, their limbs slowly fell off with every month and season that past.

In the last few days in November, the woman coughed alongside the flowers. They looked at her, it was a long and worrying stare. The woman sat as the bench groaned with pain, her eyes locked with the flowers and she smiled with sign of discontent, there was something waiting for her, she had no idea what it was but she could feel its presence, she could feel it swimming through the air and sitting beside her on the bench, it didn’t intimidate nor scare her, there was only a long and awkward silence between them. It returned to visit her despite their first meeting. It was like it was waiting for something or someone, it was patient. Considering. Peaceful. Now though, she waited for it.

Everytime it came to see her their connection grew, it was no physical being that was with her but it was the best she had at the time. She has dying flowers and a presence, she was grateful for them. The presence wasn’t there just to lurk about, it was there to help the dying woman, it wanted to exchange his company for something deep within her body.
