The Burning Rose
A beautiful gift from Mother Nature
The Burning Rose
A rose was born from storm and flame
not bound to earth, nor touched by name
its petals glowed with endless fire
each shade a hymn, each spark desire
It did not bend to summer’s will
it blossomed wild, it blossomed still
the colours swirled, they tore the night
they burned the dark with sudden light
A thousand voices hid inside
of all who bled, of all who cried
yet in that bloom their grief was spun
to blaze against a drowning sun
The roots were deep in soil of pain
yet beauty rose, a scar’s refrain
the stem was sharp, the thorns were true
a guard for hearts it never knew
A single flower, fierce and free
a mark of what the soul can be
a torch to burn, a voice to rise
a living fire that never dies

What the Night Remembers — Uncovering secrets buried by daylight
The lamp on Marcus's nightstand has been on for three hours. It's 11:47 PM, and he hasn't moved from the bed. The envelope sits on the dresser across the room, Sarah's handwriting still crisp on the front: Read this when you're ready. Not before. She'd left it six months ago, back when leaving still felt impossible. Back when they were still negotiating the geometry of their collapse.

Beauty does indeed mask the pain that many carry inside. This was a beautiful poem.
Love the idea of the living fire in the rose. Brilliant illustration too and really drew me into the poem. Really beautifully done and hope to soon congratulate you on a TS
