the rose in the storm
Poem and Photo by Autumn Nolan
My life is like the rain.
It’s just a sprinkle one moment
And next moment you are crying and begging for it to stop
I have no control over what others think of me
I just know people come and go like the rain
But you….
Oh you……
Your different
Your like a rose
That comes back each year
Your beauty is protected by your thorns
They make you stronger
It shields you from the pain
From the welting petals
From all the little hands that grab a hold of you
They grab and yank your neighbor away
Free from where they use to grow
Wildly and peacefully
The weeds are jealous of your undying beauty
Greedily they steal away your life source
Bickering and growing
They are growing close to you
They starting to grow onto you
You have all play this endless same game
Since the day you first knew you were here to stay
Like your thorns
They just keep on taking your beauty
But here I am now
Don’t you worry now
Because you are my rose
Fear no more
Cause I cause I am your knight
in not so shiny armor
For here I am
I have the shears that will tear down
and rip apart all that hurts you
For your beauty
I will tear down the world
One petal falls to the ground
Oh I shall chase after it
Oh cause I love you so
With each petal that falls
I can begin to see you are so beautiful
Oh so your scent leaks to the ground
and twirls its way into the sky
Where every creature can sense it
I shall stomp feet
I shall summon all of my strength
Cause for you my rose
there is nothing in this world
I wouldn’t do
They are all around me now
Like the wild wolves that they clearly are
Oh, their claws dig so deeply into me
I shall not fall
I shall not go
For you are my rose
I do not care
For If they kill me
I hope you know
you make me who I am
For you I will stand in the rain
without a desperately needed shelter
For I see you
Oh my do you stand so proudly
The thunder is now here
I shall rush out towards you
Without thinking
Without knowing
But knowing by heart that you need me
There you are my rose
The rose standing proudly in the storm
Oh, my beauty
You are the rose in the storm
I shall never let you go
For if I do
I will lose
what I desperately need the most
I shall not forget you
I shall not let you battle this undying
and undeniable storm called life
For you are my star in the night
So brightly shining as you show me the way
For you are my coat
I so clingy hold tightly too
For you are my air
Without you my lungs were quit
For you are my heart
All that love and all I that need
For you are my smile
That never seems out of place
For you are the light in unending tunnel of life
You guide to safety and to love
Oh for you are my best friend
So strong and beautiful
An undying soul
Forever in mine own
For you are my best friend
Who makes laugh so hard
That I nearly die
Oh for you best friend
There is nothing in this world
I Wouldn’t do
