The treasure at the heart of the rose <br />is your own heart's treasure. <br />Scatter it as the rose does: <br />your pain becomes hers to measure. <br /> <br />Scatter it in a song, <br />or in one great love's desire. <br />Do not resist the rose <br />lest you burn in its fire.<br /><br />Gabriela Mistral<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-rose-153/
