I fled away to a distant land, <br />For the sake of solace which I may find, <br />The sacred place I long to be, <br />In the Valley of Roses- <br />where flowers sing to me. <br /> <br />The sweet scent of flowers soon grip my mind, <br />The thorns of bitterness not far behind. <br />But I forget all my laughs and cries, <br />in the Valley of roses- <br />beneath the falling skies. <br /> <br />A gush of wind on the flowering ground, <br />In a different world where I stand, <br />And in each spring of the year shall I come, <br />In the valley of roses- <br />until a rose I may become.<br /><br />Andrew Devin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/valley-of-roses/
