The Thorny Rose

The thorny Rose

I will sing to you
Of raindrops
That glisten as the dew
Upon the thorny rose

Where transparent pearls
Are caught from the eyes
Of sadness and fears
Born alone
In the garden of night

In the brightness of morning
Each heartfelt drop
Full of colors and shapes
Caught in rose colored tears
Now glisten with insight and hope

For out of pain and sorrow
A clear day will follow
Born from wisdom
And the beauty shining forth
Upon The Thorny Rose
