Petals of a Rose

Petals of a rose Grace into autumn And from life They are swayed With sadness The thorn and stem Embrace soon white Exposed and brave Flower bares her spirit Nakedness to unclothing Becoming soulless In a season of grey Merely one by next Upon a cold earth clay Fallen petals A road crimson fading way
