The Rose

By Frater Synth

A wilted rose,
Black petals,
Limp stem,
Decayed,
Picked from the patch by the devil himself,
With a prick of the finger,
Blood trickles down the dried leaves,
And slowly the rose rises,
Steam stiffens,
The color rushes into the petals,
Becoming red with blood,
Rejuvenating,
Thoughts entering the minds of the watchers,
Bringing about hope,
And thoughts of life,
The dead rise from there graves,
Drawing upon the energy of the mystic rose,
Life once again thrives,
And peace of mind restored
