A Rose Poem by Gita Ashok

A Rose



A rose is often an inspiration source
for painting, poetry or even prose.

Found all over in myriads of hue,
its petals at dawn are dotted with dew.

Layers upon layers of petals, like satin so soft -
it truly lifts our depressed spirits aloft.

Red, pink, orange and yellow roses -
amidst sharp thorns and serrated green leaves
provide instant relief to any soul that grieves.

As the bushes engage in a sprightly dance in the breeze,
its fragrance wafts gently across the garden with ease.

It is used to convey to a pal
a wish on a birthday, or for a speedy recovery
and to greet two souls united in holy matrimony.

Come rain, come shine,
a rose will always bloom
to rid our hearts and minds
of sadness and gloom.
