Rose
A fire
began by a single match
leaves nothing but a rose
grown in through the cracked floorboards of an abandoned house
it lies.
Beginning as a single bud it sprouts
into more
turning the charcoal rich room into a burst of color
proving the law of nature wrong it
learned to walk without having feet
By keeping its dreams it learned
to feel the sunlight creeping in
to breathe the fresh air
to retain the moisture
and a room once so dark
is now alight with the colorful blossoms
of a rose.
