A Rose

what is a Rose? something hidden, something revealed...
Revelation
Beauty beyond my hands to create
Untouchable with thorns set firmly in place
gnarled with bugs in it's face
Still Sweet Smell to appreciate
Red runs towards the within
Vibrant as a noon day rainbow
in a child's sprinkler canopy
Nothing to prove
Much to live for
Dangerous
Love and Pain dancing amongst natures wonder
another splendid created thing
Painted by the Queen's Card men
Unnoticed Illusion
One with the Earth's outer shell
more than a spectacle
Amazing
