My Friend, Rose ...

I became friends with a rose,

not realising it won't last long.

Inspired by its beauty, I wrote poetry and prose,

that the humming bird composed into a merry song ...

It finally withered, leaving me with a shattered heart,

but left behind fragrant memories to cherish in all seasons.

I preserved each drying petal,

as a souvenir of the short lived friendship.

I am now a different person,

for a part of me aches for the loss and loneliness.

I look forward to blooming flowers and the rising sun,

anticipating the reflection of my lost friend, Rose ...

Yet a part of me is glad for the sweet memories of a soul completely irreplaceable ...
