Narcissus Dreaming

At wit’s end
Deep falls desperate
Over the edge
To the well of Narcissus

She sees a flower
Its face like her own
Yet ripples form wrinkles
& gravity takes her

Down into darkness
Sinking, she dreams
Of sweet long ago
Waking, to see true blood in her vain

        I agree, the last few prompts have been challenging. I went off prompt a few times. All good fun, though ?
