Being the Rose

is color softness layers of time
folding, unfolding
softly I tell you my story
careful to include my fallen leaf
& the long climb from the bottom of my
cool stem, my leaves feel smooth and some are folded
The gracefulness of my being comes to
you and soothes you. My beauty
and life force greets you. there is
more to feel. some of my petals open
some never will. I love you and
bring you life.
