The Fading Blue Rose

This flower of beauty By the wind cast down To a stream it lands In eventual drown Its reflection on the water Caught in ripples of life Its as if the ripples are draining To leave it in strife On the surface it lingers As if to hold on Eventually the waters will consume Its life withdrawn For as it sinks To its eventual lie It leads to new life So therefor it never dies http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/nature-7.php
