Rose

A Single White Rose

A single white rose 
remains in her garden
as if guarding her last breath
and the laugh that lightened 
a garden into a legendary 
sanctuary of sacred place,
lengthening time 
and creating memories
of precious moments 
that passing time cannot erase~
still marked to remind 
by a single white rose.
