Spirit, Like a Rose
Sometimes, my spirit blossoms like a rose
Opening up full petal to quietly reveal
Its fragrant presence in my languishing soul
And relishing the sweet scent of perfume
Beckons to me come nearer and revel
In its awesome glory. Cautions me, too,
To avoid its sharp and piercing thorns.
