Cracks and a rose

Raised in a bed of flowers
Counting the minutes
Counting the hours

As demons devoured 
One second is all it took
From the cracks a rose flowered 

Wedded by passion 
The time kept ticking
He grew in frailed fractions

With a little limp as his only friend 
Out of the dirt. And out of the darkness 
But for the rose, darkness. Was not the end..
