The rosebud
Longs for a single
Unknown moment -
An instant crushed with
Tenderness.

The rosebud
Knows only of its yearning,
Breathing fully in this tenderness
That threatens to destroy.

And the rosebud
Can only surrender to
This longing -
Can only surrender and die
Within the passing hand
Of love,
Can only surrender...and nothing more.

And this is enough
To become a Rose.

There is that moment
when I place the
sharp edge
to the
stem

amen

and the scent
swells
