A Rose Gave Up Her Secret

A rose gave up her secret
   Of its origin - of its beauty -
In the shadow of her crescent -
   Fiercely hushed once to me.

She told me of a plan of love
   And a Master Gardener who
Has a touch of silver that betrothed
   The rose to the morning dew

And described a plane in between
   Nothing and a foundation -
The design of which is unbreached -
   That lies in an unmeasured dimension

But her exact words were lost
   To the enjambment of my memory -
Moreover - my comprehension lapsed -
   Found lost inextricably.
