A Rose in Winter

Inspired by a harsh winter spend at an altitude of 3000 feet, and a single flower that called out to the poet in me. An ode to beauty that can be found anywhere, anytime, as long as you look for it.

Like blood amidst the snow,
A single rose bloomed,

And cast a fiery glow

On the frozen earth
And the frosty leaves

And it gave birth -

To hope within all Men.

That Summer may go; harsh Winter come
But beauty on Earth shall always remain.

Nicely done! Powerful imagery within your verses. Within every aspect of life (or death) there is beauty.

Thank you for your kind review :) May the beauty - rather our ability to perceive it - never die!
