Queen of flowers
Long revered
By royalty
Oozing sensuality
In its unfolding glory
Of softness and strength
Evoking
An open vulnerability
The mystical rose
Symbol of beauty
Vitality and love
Its lingering
Heady fragrance
Engages our attention
Whilst sharp thorns
Remind us
Of balancing
Soft openness
With strong discernment.
