once,
a long time ago,
I watched
my first rose strip
away her petals
until she was unprotected
only for me
it all happened
in time-lapse surroundings

all the years since
I've solicited
my untried gods
that another Rose might come to bud

my untried gods are smiling

Beautiful rose, Jerry. It is a gentle opening ...when we bloom for another. Enjoyed, Ms. E

Beautiful.

All gods are untried. That is how they get away with all their crimes.
