Calm the night and stilled the sea
Bathed in its tranquility
A fleeting glimpse of death`s repose
Gently stirred the sleeping rose
(But still too blind to understand
I let it wither in my hand)
The lifeless form fell to the earth
There again to find new birth
For withered though the rose may be
Its seed lives on eternally
Classic! Tell me anything, I 'll accept it! You are the Rose! Thank you!
Oh, so very beautiful....as a rose. This is the first time I read this, and I can see what I was missing. How beautifully you created this poem, it is almost magical. Thank you for sharing your blessing!
Thanks Valerie. There is truth in it. Check my update, 'The Finest Rose'.
some roses wither. some roses bloom. only time will tell whether this rose's seed shall wither or bloom!
