When the simplest reality arrives with impunity

A rose, dying on a vine
Cords, disconnected out of time

Wonderment strums a cadence
Marching truth along the horizon
Toward some distant shore
History, rings wrapped around

Soon will be thorns, undying
A timeless, ancient melody

I'm not certain whether to be sad or inspired.
Either way, your words speak volumes.

Oh yes, thorns protect the new blooms.
It's nature's way...isn't it?
Vivid and thoughtful Rob.

I am kind of like Indigo - I just know that I feel this.  And, I really like it.

Always a treat to read your thoughtful and profound poems, Robert.  This one leaves me pondering several interpretations....I like it when a poem does that for me.
