With slightly curled
Petals’ ends,
She is feeling
Her age.
And she smiles
At the buds,
That unfurl
A fresh edge.
Sun and wind
Kissed her leaves.
Rain had shared
Its own drink.
She is older
But happy,
To live in all
Shades of pink.
For the Tuesday Photo Challenge: Rose
If your heart groans
Under worry
And your belly
Plays acid songs,
Don’t despair:
Life’s still there.
If your head spins
With confusion
In realities
Beyond compare,
Don’t give up:
There’s repair.
If your muscles
Clench with anger
And anxiety
Sheds your hair,
Don’t give in
To what’s not fair.
If your color
Lost its luster
And your spirit’s
Pale and bare,
Don’t lose heart:
We’ve hope to spare.
If the dark nights
Press your innards
And your lungs
Beg for calm air,
Don’t forget:
Love’s everywhere.
