A Rose…

Flowers grow

flowers bud

flowers bloom

flowers wither

flowers die

but their

powerful beauty

lives on…

I am entering

a withering stage

but a few

blooms yet…

If a flower

I be

then which

is me…

A Rose

I suppose…

Waiting

Waiting

in the

rain

waiting

through

the pain

waiting

for the

change

waiting

to break

the chains

waiting

for the

light

waiting

for what’s

right

Waiting…

Beauty of a Rose

The beauty

of a rose

breathtaking

to behold

The life

cycle unfolds

precious in

every stage

but most

vibrant

as its

petals

grow old

before

decay

takes

hold

watch

and you

will see

the

beauty

unfold

as she

grows

old…
