Here lies a wilted, withered rose,
Discarded from the vase;
Was carried off on phantom wings
Into a dying haze.

No more the embers glowing bright,
No more the flames will sear;
Ashes cold will now remain
Moistened with single tear.

But shed no tears upon this grave,
Do not drown in sorrow;
For the rose is fired everlasting -
Will bloom again tomorrow.

The title is inviting, the well written piece is sad, yet holding hope. It's a keeper for me.
