The strength and beauty of her petals <br />Is overwhelming <br />Yet even she will die <br />Her beauty never fades, <br />Until her spirit is broken, <br />Like inevitability you will find beauty, <br />But that is not everlasting, <br />Her timeless elegance, <br />Is shadowed by her mortality <br />Her lush richness, <br />Powerful fragrance, <br />Will wilt to the power <br />Of the cold <br />That surrounds her <br />But another will always come to replace her <br />To once more remind us of <br />Simple beauty <br />Like all ageless beauty hers is of <br />An ageless knowledge <br />The knowledge of her return never <br />Grows faint <br />Despair can only be broken with that knowledge, <br />The knowledge of her return. <br /> <br />This is dedicated to my best friend my princess and the sister I never had<br /><br />Agata Konopka<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rose-2/
