The rose hibernates
Its beauty is within
Unexposed while it gathers
The sun plays a role
The water and rain come
The rose continues to gather
Its root reaches down deep
Soaks up all the nutrients
From deep within
It does not need prompts
It can just be and flourish
Through the wind and weather
The rose continues to get ready
The earth is changing
Changing seasons while the rose waits
Waits for the right time
Waits for the right season
Waits for the right growth
All a balance in the earth
All a balance in the soil
All a balance in the moisture
It is taking its time
It will be grand
When it is time
The time is not predicted by anyone
Or anything
Only the rose knows its time
It will wait for however long
It needs to
But when it is ready, you will know
The time for the rose is soon
Surprised by its own beauty
That is within
Much care given on its journey
Food and shelter and sunshine
It pulls what it needs
The gardener is also watching
and waiting
But perfection and beauty takes time
Sometimes it seems like it takes forever
But the beauty will be worth it
The petals will be floating
The color will ring bright
And oh so lovely
The smell like no other
The rose will bloom in all
its glory
I will wait, it will be worth it
The beauty from within
Its coming, in its own time
It will be so amazing.
