The Colour Of The Rose

(to my sister, Sharon)


beautiful beyond recognition
maybe the soul could grow
beyond her historical rose gardens

drifting in Time's snows

beautiful then-

as beautiful when

now, you turn and go
caught on the restless sleeve of music

forgetting all else you know

beautifully freed from woe
remembering though:  the shade in the garden;

the colour of the rose
