Tears of a rose
The saddest sight I ever saw
As I crossed the garden path
Were the tears of a rose as they hit the floor
Wondering when the sun would come back
The grass accepted this liquid love
The mouse drank deep from the pond
There were blackbirds and a robin in the tree above
Staying silent as a sign of their bond
For the rose was sad she had lost her smell
All her perfume washed down to the floor
And in its place in the garden by the dell
Was an all encompassing petrichor
Fear not said a deer as it walked down the lane
Past the gate where the rose was in bloom
Read the rest of the poem Show less
We all see your beauty and witness your pain
This is only a shower in June
Tomorrow will bring the sun once again
And your peachskin petals will dry
Your fragrance again will be all that we smell
So hush pretty blossom don't cry
