((( Solitare Rose))) - Poem by Theodora (Theo) Onken
A Solitary Rose 'tis growing...
In a Garden filled to the full with weeds...
With velvet soft petals of 'deep' red...
Today, that red Rose simply bleeds;
'Tis not the thorns of her stems...
Nor the lack of mother nurture nor care...
Its more the torments O' time...eons...
That bleeds out the Rose in despair;
For their 'tis n'er a good outcome...!
For people who practice to do deliberate wrong...! !
Only hope for the flowers that give joy to the Earth...!
For 'tis to this Earthly sod that they truly belong;

Such a beautiful thought, so beautifully articulated, loved it.. (Report)Reply
A solitary rose that stands out just like a thistle amidst the
thorns. Even a thing of beauty may withstand the test of time.
The roots grows very deep into the earth where the Sun can't
reach and burn it up. An inspiring write. (Report)Reply
