A Rose entices simple interest -
Piqued by the blood red
Silkiness and scented air -
Mother Nature disturbs not
But man lives for such loveliness -
To beautify false structures
Of stark barrenness
It often dies a slow - slow -
Death of cut torture.
Yet to those who yearn to capture
Its graces - A careless stroke
Leads to pain - Behind beauty
Lies piercing defenses -
All splendor has its costs -
Sharpness among magnificence.
Oh sweet guarded Siren,
Rustle with the air the wind blows -
Bend but do not break -
For the Creator of Resplendence
Gave you charm and danger -
To Him, rise up and sing
His glory through your presence.
