Rose of Winter

Don't be tricked by the eye

Rose of Winter

 

 

Does the rose of winter,
Have any beauty less
Does it not still claim
The bright bloom
In the wilderness.

Had you never the rose, had seen
In its fullness,
In its height.
You'd think it a thorny twig in the ground
Prickly to touch
Weary of life's routine
Tired of life's plight.

But those who have seen the rose of spring, of summer.
Know that winters trials, cannot steal,
And the thorny twig of winter has a beauty deeply laid
In the ground and the roots.
That she bears the Trial of winter and duress,

with the same delicate and fragrant appeal,
only the outside appearance tricks the eye,

and it is the looker who is to blame.
