solitary rose

                                              Solitary Rose
As one i grow, a single stem,
in midnight air the stars condemn.
My leaves pulled tight to fight the chill,
lost deep in dark night, as one, i'm there still.

Just one, i'm there, my roots tired and dry.
No petals. Bare. Lost to the ground, i sigh.
My color is faded, my leaves start to wilt,
no shelter to save me against drops of heaven spilled.

Hours become days, become weeks,i survive.
Stood alone against the elements, yet im destined to thrive,
till the breeze breaks the clouds into a golden sunshine ray
sending life to my leaves, know today is my day.

I have suffered my endurance, seen the face of my despair,
reached the depths of my darkness, felt the wrath of my fear,
yet alone i kept on standing, fighting, refusing to be beat!
Just to hang in there, my time will come, then i will claim defeat!


Just a single rose, i stand, as one,
radiant with my beauty as i bask in the sun.
Overcome desolation to fulfill my destiny.
Such a rose solitary.......such a rose just like me.
