My Winter Rose

I saw a rose bloom in the winter,
it's petals blood colored,
Unwilted by the weather.

So I picked swiftly,
bleeding on thorns,
And took it back to my empty home.

I serenaded it,
blessed it's beauty,
And somehow it flourished in my company.

And now today,
I wear it,
behind my ear.

Because although there I cannot see it,
That winter rose,
is always there.
