Synecdoche

    Garden

     Clear rays of sun bounced off the soft, delicate, yellow petals in the warm spring air. The strong, firm stem branched down towards the cool dirt covered earth. Roots sprawled out for what could seem like miles underground, sucking up the moisture within the soil. The moisture then travelling up through the roots to the stem, from the stem to the leaves and to the petals.
     The leaves, large, green, and expansive reached up and out towards the warm rays of the sun. Each drop of moisture drying up quickly, no match for the heat beaming down. The leaves seemed to grow larger with every ray of sunshine that hit it.
     The wind gusted lightly as the petals trembled slightly. One of the fragile petals broke off from the others and drifted peacefully towards the uninviting ground. It landed softly, with the absence of sound, not to disturb the environment surrounding.
