As she sits amoung the murky lake
Full of algae
Stillness
Aquatic
Suffocation of the summer sun
Yet cheerfully comforting
Light breeze amoung the trees
Full of life
Reminiscent
Each broad branch representing a new step
She is lost in the beauty
And haunted by the many paths she took to get here
The branches that broke beneath her during the storm
Fell with such force and demise
Not her
The wilted leaves that left such disdain in her mouth
Like a toxic dump
Smelling of rotten carcus and debris
The death of the past
Awaken to a new light
Like a solitary flower
Basken in the yellow hues
Fruitful and vivid
Swaying with the slightest breeze
Glorified
Capturing this moment
As it awaits the death of winters doom
Only to rise and shine again in springs dew
Like she
A solitary rose!!

Why thank you so very much ❤️ It was truly inspired by a single rose that stood out Among nothing but mulch and dirt As if it stood by itself in its beauty not needing other beautiful flowers to thrive… it stood at all by itself securely and undisturbed…and then i not only capture that I also captured the scene surrounding it and related personally ❤️

I’m so GLAD to see you again!!!!!!!!!! In this time of unusual and unpredictable life moments (are not most of them unpredictable!!?!!), it is nice to see people who have been missed. I could SEE this and yes, even yucky waters can have some sort of life and all things compost down to spread the spark. Like roses. Will never forget the memorial we went to at a neighbor’s. The ashes were sprinkled under the rose bushes and that summer the flowers were amazing. My youngest, who was very young then, remarked, ‘Tim was really good for those roses.’
