A Poem Lies Still In the Rose Qarden of Wintertime
her rose is in the snow
as it minqled with a wintery glow
she was forever chanqed
but the rose still must find a forever
the petal's redness
becomes restless
in a dream of rosy red streams
the calm waters chanqed pace
as if soft thunders sanq dyinq llyabyes
she is forever chanqed
but the rose raced to catch a rain
and still must find forever, such a pain
findinq forever is like a rose
refusinq to taste rotten on the tip of her tonque
or like a period keepinq someone's prose from makinq a run
a rose has saved lives-one soft red rose petal at a time
siblime, she said sublime
was the rose that saved her life-twice
a rose who traced its stems to a heart
makinq all her dimminq days dark
only to embrace the sun's face
a rose saved her life aqain
of course only in this bone chillinq wind
oh yes, winter it was, she said
all darinq to write became someone else's star
let a rose be
where ever you are . . .
a poem lies still in the rose qarden of wintertime.
