The Lonely Rose

• Artist: aniral
• Description: Last Sunday, somebody trespassed on my mother's property and cut down her favorite yellow rose. This is a peom I wrote in my sadness of loss for the little rose. Did they take one of the five blood red ones? No they had to take the only yellow one. I really wish I knew who did it...

The Lonely Rose

A golden shaft of sunlight
Cruelly ripped from its life-giver
The loving yellow rose
Torn heartlessly from its stem

I would like to think it was for a good reason
As the thorns failed to protect it
To protect the laughing rose
It's delicate golden petals turned to the sun in pure joy
Yet when I see how despicably the rose was
seized from its strong stalk, I begin to doubt...

The lonely rose with petals of pure sunlight
Stolen from my mother's garden
For simple amusement or a selfish greed
