    What Could've Been

    The seed will be destroyed before the bud appears
    and I will never see the blossom of the rose
    There'll be no need for sun and the rain will hide the tears
    and I will curse the cold wind as it blows

    I could raise the Roses wearing ribbons for them all
    if I would reap what I had sown among the seeds
    Instead I'll choose destruction for the garden in my walls
    and I'll live my life...a thorn among the weeds.

    a short, but very beautiful poem.... I can't go in to its meaning; only you know that ( as it should be ) but this poem is very deep. not sure so much has been expressed in so few words since........ lincoln

    to be short it says so much, and for the most part saying nothing at all gets a message accross just as fast as a short one, i love it

    A painful choice, but at times a necessary one.But it doesn't deflect the knowledge of the gardener and the sacrifice that she has made. Well done my dear! Doug

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
