A Simple Rose
December 11, 2012
A rose beyond the garden's end
The soil beneath made fertile and strong
To which the sun and rain did send
As it prospered through Nature's song
A rose whose beauty denies lust and sin
A true spirit of hope, pure and unworn
Whose pedals encase the purity within
Enduring itself with abundance of thorns
A rose in blossom a miracle divine
The stem that binds the bud to the earth
In which the life retains the vine
From the roots that held since birth
A simple rose upon the ground
A life of subtlety without movement or sound
