the Promise

Six inches of fresh snow fell
this first day of brand new year.
Streets blocked, home warm, holiday
puttering about, chores and such.

Outside with the puppy dogs
quick smoke and look about.
Overgrown rose bush shrouded
semi-round with it’s white blanket.

Shake of bush, snow falls away
reveals frozen, bramble covered.
Pulling the tangle apart, peeking
inside...wonder of wonders!

Looking into forgotten, lost spring
preserved inside...almost perfect blossom.
Surrounded, protected by snow and brambles
surviving; yesterday’s rose, slightly brown.

What beauty lies hidden, near forgotten
masked by exterior ugly, even hostile?
A simple act, a helping hand or two
revealing treasure stored up by nature.

Six inches of fresh snow fell
this first day of brand new year.
Winter yields a flower treasure,
a promise
upon my cheek...a frozen tear.

bleeding...

"Tis ink coming
from his arm,
Captain!"

Beauifully written

Life has got to chnage,
Nothing stays the same,
Soon it will be time,
For me to move on.

Very nice! It's good to be able to see the promise.

Thanks to you, my friends, for the comments!
What wonders we can find if we only look deeper than the surface, eh?
