Roses beckon with their fragrance sweet,
address in tones both buoyant and naive.
I knew not what fascinated towards then,
I know not what fascinates towards today,
perhaps there is something present in air,
that allows me to dwell and find solace.
Roses beckon with their fragrance sweet,
observe as I sway with thunder and heat.
Though roses they come alongwith thorn,
I implore my heart to not retreat in doubt,
allow wisdom to seep into the raring soul,
to foresee things that are beyond control,
‘for what would the world be without a rose.’

Roses are beautiful but a bit testy as they scratch and tear at you when tending them but it is all worth it in the end!
Definitely❤️ thanks for stopping by, Robin 🙂
The rose is so unique and your question in the end begs to be pondered.

Yes, ‘perhaps there is something present in air’. I can feel the speaker’s reluctance but implores the heart, nonetheless.
‘for what would the world be without a rose.’
