A Farewell To A Rose I came upon a rose today, in a long forgotten spot. It waved to me like a banner, beside some blue forget me nots. It was an old tea rose, planted there so long ago, now amid the grass and weeds, where only the wild things grow. Its canes were brown and dead, some were almost close to dust. And yet there was a thrust of green, alive - but only barely just. At the end of the living green, a rose blushed there, so rich and fine, as if what life was left ,was sent, to make this simple rose divine. I touched the rose's fragile form, and then bent down to gently kiss, that moment of bursting beauty, the perfect rose, I knew I'd miss. copyright 2001 Roland Ricker |
