cold roses



Thorn

All kinds of roses
will come then go,
from bloom to wilting
and yet forever willing
again to weather seasons,
welcoming our new springs,
surviving our long summers,
fading and finally surrendering
their wearied petals to autumn's
funeral procession plodding toward
a plot buried by winter's piercing cold.
