Funeral Flowers

funeral flowers

When a beloved man dies, flowers are sent to soften the blow. The multitude of colors, the pleasant smells…they don’t necessarily help ease the pain, but at least they make that pain a little prettier.

They can be overwhelming though. After the funeral is over and they’ve dropped them all off at your home, the flowers become a constant reminder that someone you dearly loved did indeed die. And you don’t know where to put them or how to enjoy them without letting them get you down.

Our porch was covered with arrangements, big beautiful bouquets that perfumed the air all around. So as not to be defeated by sadness, I chose to focus on each individual flower, zoom in to temporarily forget about the greater picture…

And as dear Pablo Neruda said, a reminder that it will all be alright, that the great world will keep on spinning, “You can cut all the flowers, but you cannot keep spring from coming.”
