The Rose

Virgin innocent

The world has deflowered you

Yet beauty still blooms

Delicate petals

Will fall and return to dust

As your spirit soars

RDP Friday: Return & Word of the Day Challenge: Delicate

  6. Janet, I just read this poem again, and it still hits me hard. Short, sweet and true of our life’s journey. This poem is love and a hug. Simple and beautiful. Well done ❤
