The Magic of the Roses

There were stars in her eyes
A universe of dreams
Running deep like the ocean
Drawing hearts on everything

One cold twilight in April
her garden brought warmth
but all the flowers were grey now
wilted petals and thorns

All the colors fell out the sky
violet tears sunk in the dirt
The faerie queen felt powerless
her kingdom was hurt

The Thunder gods roared
lighting up the clouds with bolts like lovers
but her hair grew long like a willow tree
and she discovered

The magic of the roses.
