A rose for your thorn

She cries the passion of plight
that burdens her this day
from angry leasons come light
that shower her with faith
faith in her own being
that she once thought was lost
faith in her resilance
where she now stands her ground
the time of haste and yearning
have come and gone away
for her power is a thousand miles
but in her soul each day.
She stands the new horizon
with setting suns do bow
to her grace of love and given
that this world has nothing bound,
she lives for her children
which she fears wonder do care
but the single sparkle in the eyes
of innocence brings her there
she cares nothing for her self
as far as her happiness concerned
for the love is deep within her
and all that she could ever yearn.
She stands the days grace
of eagles soaring upon the stars
the dances that were long ago
are nearer to her heart
of once and future lovers
that gracefully touched her cheek
and whisper foma distant land
that she so much wants to be
but the future is a thorn
that traps the soul inside
and makes us pay for it
with the love we know shall never die.
And this true heart shall not waiver
upon my heart I so do speak
to give a rose for your thorn
that shall always make us free.

*sneaking out of rehab*

your rose inspires great things in you ...
this one reads like 6 dozen long stems

There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.
