He's found her lying under pins and needles. He avoided the pricks to gather his flower. A ROSE. It has a powerful sweet scent. Her petals glistens as he held it closer. There it is as he held her, a thorn protruding through the stem. They are of two personalities. A thorn is sharp, and can pierce a flesh. It can be irritating and painful. How can a sharp thorn be able to produce such a delicate rose?. He examines it. All the while thinking can this thorn produce poison?. Knowing he must do something, he realizes he can't die for her but he knows she belongs to him. So he removes from her stem that thorn to avoid her pain. It's also a liberation from the demons that lie within him. This rose will always be important to him. She's the one he watered when she was thirsty. He's placed her in his heart and protected her from all harm. It is that special rose for he has brought sunshine when there were clouds threatening the skies. For His rose, he has killed preys to keep them from hurting her. Her protector, he made sure he provided her with shelter. He's now forgotten the time he wasted for that one rose. The rose that he now wonders, what made her so important? What made her so special? Was it her sweet scent? Was it her beauty? So mesmerizing that she's the envy of the garden. Was it the way she glistened in the sunlight or her shadow at sunset? How did she hold such a special place in his life? This thorn is growing back. It irritates and hurts her. Piercing through her stem causing her pain. A feeling of discomfort and agony. This Thorn is the sword that has killed his perfect rose.
Love is like a rose when it's blossoming. It's beautiful it's perfect. Full of life. You can sit there and watch it in admiration. Yet true love is not without pain. Like the thorns on this rose or a bush full of thorns. It follows that even the bad situations has its positive side and good situations has its down size.
So, If life is a Rose, how am I to be aware of the Thorns? I'm guessing that when you're with the right person it becomes something you don't have to know. ©

Possibly, but if your with the right person the thorns of life are the minor disaggreements that may cause bruised feelings but the bruises are soothed by the warmth of a gentle heart felt apology and caressing hug , no where in this world have we ever been promised a rose garden we must trample through the jungle and weeds to find our scarce and rare blossoming rose , but unfortunately in my case its usaully gets plucked before i get there.Your cat- Jac!
ReplyDeleteIn my case the rose wasn't appreciated, she stopped being cared for because priorities weren't in place. And the thorn is simply the pain caused by the person whom is supposed to care for this delicate flower who has brought life and joy into his world when he needed it the most. But as people change so does their priorities. Instead of making right of things they only make it worse.
ReplyDeleteThe next rose he finds will not be as rare. But rather the common type you find in your everyday garden.
