Rose

The shadow of a blooming rose,
Fell softly on the wall,
The shadow was a deep blood red,
The petals about to fall.

The shadow of a wilting rose,
Fell gracefully on the ground,
The shadow was a murky grey,
The petals were all brown.

The shadow of a once sweet rose,
Fell gently to the floor,
The shadow was as balck as night,
The petals were no more.
