chilling, this season
of unsettled rest
a time of reason
to bring out the best
inner growth
unexpected
yet destined to be
natures plan
unrestricted
to set beauty free

in the winters of a rose
each petal has passed
stems are cut back
and thorns everlast
...that's external

Inside is where winters hold
where beauty now sets
stemming inward
simple as it gets
that's eternal

chilling of reason
yet destined to be
in the winters of a rose
true beauty grows
inwardly

ctowen - yes indeed, true beauty is inward, and at times comes out from a beautiful being...

Absolutely beautiful. Love both the rhythm and the message.

Love,
