    The Rose

    Delicate,
    From a slim green twig,
    The morning dew drips;
    A bud is born from the night’s chill.
    The morning rays warm and beckon
    And little by little,
    This symbol for me opens.
    Spreading its pedals,
    Moist and fresh;
    The scent is in my nose.
    Placed in a vase;
    It is beginning to wilt.
    The rose reminded me
    As it slowly died;
    Time is passing,
    No matter what.
    I return to existence.
    I threw her rose
    From a moving window
    In the night,
    As love died
    And I moved on.
    The world beckons,
    More lessons to learn.
    The bush will be bare
    Through the winter,
    But my heart will heal
    And bring spring to life;
    Fresh blossoms into bloom.

    Thank you for this. Even when pricked by thorns, or made witness to decay, the essence and memories remain... and yes we blossom, anew. Etheric and luminous in our newness.

    pedals should be petals, yes?

    This was touching. Roses are sexy.

    Ever read Oscar Wilde's short story about the rose and the nightingale?

    Yeah. Good use of imagery of the fresh awakening of morning.
