En Rose

A rose

A rose to rise A rose to fall A rose to conquer all Thorns that hurt Thorns that protect Thorns to start what cannot be stopped One rose to say one word One rose to say many words Several roses to say nothing at all From rise to fall From hurt to protect A rose is a rose That can mean many things But all depends on you Your interpretation Your perspective Your own heart With its own rose Its own thorns Nuku Desmond
