And the Rose Faded

Once upon a time
In many peoples lives
Males met a female
And they turned into wives

The garden was so fertile
Many seeds were sown
So many lawns were laid
Our spirits having grown

Undulations rise
As relationships recede
Do we finally reach
That point of exceed

This garden can no longer
Grow green, prosper and true
It's like the Autumn season
It can die in front of you

Ones soul can be so broken
Just like it has been raided
When your levy breaks
You know your rose has faded

The roses fade in many relationships, James, but the garden is filled with beautiful flowers. Hope that helps a bit. I know this lovely poem comes straight from your heart. Truly a brilliant analogy! Love you, Carolyn

Amazing truth in this one James, the rose does so often fade. I've enjoyed your poetry tonight very much. Sincerely, Moses
