Last weekend I was strolling,

through the Indian Summer's garden,

when I chanced upon a singular rose.



It had bloomed from a thorn patch,

which had been barren for so long

as memory would so care to serve.



I walked over to admire it,

perchance to take a whiff of its sweet perfume,

and decided to try to take it as my own.



But as I snapped its fragile stem,

all its petals fell away, gone away, swept away by the wind,

and I knew in my heart I had destroyed something

                                       beautiful.
