Sincerity and Serenity.
"Little White Rose",
why is your bud closed nearly all year around?
Do you attempt to exceed a violet's shyness,
or is it perhaps you chose this path so not to show the inner beauty that radiates brightly within...?

You, "Morning Beauty", fear the darkness.
The endless night consumes all in its path,
leaving not a trace behind as its jaws open and close.
White petals still drink from fresh moonlight, its shine being seen by whom?
Someone...yet no one.
Alone in this world, other than the thistle bush by your side.

But then...another rose blooms, its nurturer being the very fear such purity holds,
a color being held so darkly shaded of purple..it is nearly black.
This light.
This heavenly glow...something never seen before.
Its first ray of such exposed to it, attracting the plant.

Like a moth to a flame, the darkly colored rose is attracted, wishing only to approach it.
So foreign to one born into darkness, but intriguing nonetheless.
Alas..it can only stare at this shy beauty as it attempts to
look away, staring from afar within its dark blankets.
May something named "impure" forever glow as tonight.
And this night..then many nights after until it manages to wilt,
the lights turned off.
