The Heart of a Rose

Xray-Flower - The Sunday Muse

A heart is a gift of beauty
to understand it's depth
you must look beneath
layers of flesh and bones
feel the beat of life

 A rose is a gift of beauty
to understand it's depth
you must look beneath
soft petals, stem and thorns
see the enchantment of life

 when nurtured they both
grow and blossom in exquisiteness
until the season of love ends
mourning loss - heart broken
she leaves a black rose

  5. "feel the beat of life" with "see the enchantment of life" are two wonderful aspects of being.
