Dark Thoughts

Closed tight from the winter rain
Tendrils entangled,
With an eye to the heavens
And roots in the ground.

Alone atop
Unable to see a reflection or the beauty of the garden beyond.

A gentle rain
A rainbow through the dewdrops
Settled on the green leaf that protects the scented petals within.

The beauty inside hidden from all

But a roses purpose is to bloom
To open
To perfume the world
Wigh blood red petals of velvet
Embracing the world

A metaphor of beauty and romance
Given with love
A tear is shed
And falls upon the petals
A rainbow through the tear drop
Illuminated by the sun
