          where grew the rose

There is frost where grew the rose
and a lingering touch of sadness
in this vacant moon of summer
   passing
to the colored tumult of Autumn
harmonies and winter sorrows.
Our lives are the infinitesimally
smallest ripples on the boundless
  cyclic-sea of time,
so cast you mind-net into the
endless, eternal cosmic void
and catch what starry dreams
  you may.

Oh, this is just breathtakingly beautiful, secondhanddreampoet, To be competent enough to write such a poem is truly remarkable. I think you should called yourself firsthanddreampoet.
