Lost in my thoughts wandering
Following a road without destination
A rose standing aside the road
So beautifully misplaced
The way the stalks part
Spikes along the way
Until they reach the top
Where a blossom
Is showing it's most beautiful shades of red


As I keep on staring
I finally come to realize
This is life
This is who we are

We're growing up
Each time the stalks part
It's another decision we have made
The spikes being the pain
Along the way called life
Until it reached the top
Where we can prosper
No matter the pain we have been experienced
One day it will wilt making room for others

Can life be really that simple
Like this beautiful flower
Standing alongside the road?
It might be...
