Poem of The Week: Cristina Schmidt

Morning Rose

in the haze of the sunrise

a rose floats quietly

tethered to the ground

by a rope of thorns and leaves

 

petals curl towards the sun

yearning for light and warmth

the sun is its mother

it longs for her loving touch

 

a symbol of love

it wishes to be loved

to be set free

and join the sun

 

but the rope is its lifeline

if it is cut free, it dies

 

at least

in its last moments of life

it provides joy

for its murderer
