Notes About The Poem

pruning-rose-bushes

- When the Roses Are Resting -

They whisper of nothing

Beauty fades and dies

I knew that change was bound to come

The fall came and all the flowers broke together

Your veins deep in the earth will wait for spring breeze

Hello Sunshine Smile, it will be a long wait for the roses to come up again. Winter is a long season. Have a nice evening my friend.
