Roses




don't tell the roses the winter is coming
see how they raise their flowers to the heavens
smell the air rich with fragrance that is pleasing

don't tell the roses the winter is coming
with rain that batters the petal and leaf
with ice that coats the stem and thorn

don't tell the roses the winter is coming
they cannot hide or raise a cover
they can be roses and nothing else

don't tell the roses the winter is coming
they already know the seasons
because they are roses


Have a good day!
My corner of the world
