A Solitary Rose 'tis growing... <br />In a Garden filled to the full with weeds... <br />With velvet soft petals of 'deep' red... <br />Today, that red Rose simply bleeds; <br /> <br />'Tis not the thorns of her stems... <br />Nor the lack of mother nurture nor care... <br />Its more the torments O' time...eons... <br />That bleeds out the Rose in despair; <br /> <br />For their 'tis n'er a good outcome...! <br />For people who practice to do deliberate wrong...! ! <br />Only hope for the flowers that give joy to the Earth...! <br />For 'tis to this Earthly sod that they truly belong; <br /> <br />June 7,2010 <br /> <br />The Essence<br /><br />Theodora (Theo) Onken<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/solitare-rose/
