The Rose

What is the reason
For tending roses?

The flower
We know, will die

In the coming
Cold wind

And yet,
We tend them

On fields
Of ash and stone

Seeing
In our dreams

Fields of
Quivering flowers

Believing
That though our time

Is barren
There will be a day

When children
Will see these fields

Carl (I assume). Every now and then I hit the mark. A friend of mine recently opened for Natalie Merchant, hence the first line of this one. I will probably re-work it. I like the basic concept, not so much the execution.
