Description despite my age,    
    petals paper-thin
        and moth-eaten 

I'm still standing

despite the wind,
    forever at my back
        and the cold of winter
            freezing my bones

I'm still standing.

Guh... this photo... technically crap but i can't help but like it- the movement, the sad vibe it has.  The tiny, ragged flower standing against a chilling breeze.

I love the duality of this photo. I see the melancholy, but I feel the hope.... The poem you posted along with it brings the piece even more to life, despite the darkness. Thank you so much for sharing!!
