A Rose Is Grown

a rose is grown on a thorn that once was a lonely heart
as the leaves sink green they cover a screen of its broken past
the nights are long the days are short but the rose still spreads like weeds
and with some time you will find your field is covered in seeds

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.

It has a feel of hope, your Free Verse, and it is beautifully written, and I see that rose grow, and spread its beauty. Welcome to PoetrySoup.
