The roses showed
As if they were dancing
Within the darkness
Of the thunderstorm
The pure beauty
Of one simple
Flower
Rolled into one
As the sound of
Thunder filled
The land
The silky petals
Mixed
With the rough stems
While the shocking
Taste filled the air
The taste of water
The smell of the
Rose’s aura
Filled our land
As the lightening
Struck beside it
The beauty of our land
