Creation of a Rose

Every story I create, creates me, I write
to create myself- Octovia E. Butler.

My mind is like a Rose
That unfolds like each petal
That opens with the wisdom to unfold
Like moments, which in layers 
Eventually blossom and grow.

To help this flower on its path to growth
I nurture it by creating and expressing.
I move forward, I unfold slowly
From the core to the outer whole
I write and that becomes my expression

My expression my creation
My creation now me.
