Heart To Soul

The Life Within A Rose

The twin petals bloom in the dead of night

Revealing their beauty for all to see once morning lives again

when the dew reaches the tipping point on the grass,

the flowers are covered in a sea of tears,

born from happiness, sadness, shame and bliss

the children run across the fields that are filled with roses

plucking one each for their loving mothers back home

For the gift of her happiness, the life of a rose must end

And from the death of a rose, brings to this world, the life of a smile

Though the seeds of doubt and pain are still planted,

They shall not be nurtured today

With the joy in her heart,

This wonderful smile can bring life to her children once again

And so once again, nightfall arrives,

And within it, the flowers bloom again

While the mothers sleep for what seems to be an eternity,

Their smile has returned to the seed of a rose,

Waiting for the moment that the dead flower will bring new life once more
