Life

Life?!
Ever wondered the span of a rose?! 
The way it blooms at the midnight dark!
Among the thorns, as you call it’s hoes
Attracting even the sweetest lark.

Ever lived in a magical dream?! 
With all its delusive and deceitful moves?! 
Time waits for none my child, 
Life and death go together. 

A tiny insignificant living rose, 
Showing such flavour to life! 
How much more, man ought to be, 
In this wicked, wretched world. 
                                           -Sam
