In The Shadow of a Rose

In the shadow of a rose
From the hush of a dreamlike sky,
a rose awakens—
not planted in earth,
but born from the breath of blue and mist.
It rises through the veil of air,
cradled in a soft cocoon of light,
its petals unfolding like whispered secrets,
touched by the golden glow
of some unseen, benevolent sun.
Drips of amber stardust trail its ascent,
as if the sky itself weeps with awe
at the miracle of this bloom.
No thorns, no roots—
only color and becoming,
an offering of warmth
emerging from the infinite.
This rose is not from a garden—
it is the garden
where spirit meets sky.
