An enlightened rose

a thorn on the stem of rose in repose
pricked the finger of her deluded lover
yet with her last breaths she exuded love
mood and mode acceptant free from bondage 
resplendent in fragrance of her dying petals
recognising the source as breath of God

Woww, this is such an emotive and heartfelt piece... describing how unknowingly we may hurt others and also drown in the destiny of decay ourselves... even though there's purity in our hearts, but what the fate holds for us still remains unknown. In the end, we can only find peace in the divine aura of the Almighty.. Beautifully described with so many delicate feelings.
