The Withering Rose

Folder: 
Spontaneous

I sit and watch the sky turn black

As my rock-like shell begind to crack

And from that crack, there comes life

That cannot and will not be cut with a knife

An old broken building emerges this scene

And the crack which holds the life between

A rose it is

A wilting flower

It once was strong for rain showers

But now it stands

without much power

A frightening wind begins a storm

A new flower withering is yet to be born

To it's sadness it has been sworn
