A Rose Reborn
​by Crosby Adlard '18
Our Love a Rose, like Fire Bloomed,
It’s Tongues lapped up and pierced the gloom, A burst of Light that put the Sun to shame,
A Shooting Star Screams through the Dark, But ev’ry Thorn shall leave its mark, And all that’s left inside is shock and pain...
You never know
Just what you’ll find,
When you explore
A brand new sky,
Suffocate or grow beneath its warmth?
And as you feel
Two hearts combine Remember now
That in your mind
You feel this petal flutter ‘til it’s torn
Love’s a Rose Reborn.
It Hurts today, another Scar,
A Mountain Ridge, it seems so far I stare up at the Icy Stone above,
I set my jaw, my fingers crossed,
My Bloody Hands claw through the Frost That covers your cold heart that once felt Love...
I’m reaching up,
Snow leaves me blind,
And now I realize as I climb
The sky peers down upon these stony thorns,
And now I feel
This Earthen Rhyme
I See it Clearly
In my Mind,
Falling pebbles are Mountains being Born...
And from the Dirt,
Now mixed with Ash,
A Seed beneath
from Distant Past,
Awakened by the Sun, Survived the Storm...
Shooting Upwards,
towards the Sky,
The Sands of Time
breed Firevine
The Pebble becomes Sand beneath its Thorns...
Love’s a Rose Reborn.
