I strolled with a soul completely bereft
near the valley of a myriad blooms
and in unison my eyes were cleft
by a spectacle that dispelled my glooms;
Amidst the valley\'s fertile rows,
those red roses became my heart\'s repose.
Abundant as the sky\'s evening hue
they sway and swirl in the air
as a red sea comes into my view
drenched in the mist of its flair.
In hundreds, I see them at a glance
flirting and blushing to Nature\'s trance.
The air nestled around with a sweet sigh
as it kissed the petals with a regal grace.
A sight that caught heaven\'s eye
and braced the earth in this divine place.
I gazed and gazed, but little did I know
about the joy these roses would bestow.
For oft when on my settee I lie
In a pensive or thoughtful mood,
their memories make me solemnly sigh
inside my healing soul\'s solitude
And in my soul, their beauty will forever stay,
Blessing my derelict soul along its way.
