our roof rose – foto by smithOne Rose Rising
It’s time
for winter to break
through fall’s motley wake.
The grass withdraws
to let winter pass.
The earth holds its breath
awaits spring’s rebirth.
Nonetheless there’s one
yet strives to leave winter undone.
One rose alone in brave brittle pose
it tries to heed not the hostile skies
or why it can only die
and waits
fighting both fates
and clime.
As shall I.
