brown Roses

[heyyoimjohnny]

grow a Rose while you're going
grow a Rose and smile
grow a Rose while you're knowing
grow a Rose and rest awhile

crispy toast crunch underneath
browned golden brown but bare arms blazon
waving broom, the tired wind sweeps
the subtle turn of endless phases

tomorrow holds an empty promise
yesterday yearns for years gone by
sloping slide of wishes around us
while cold closes careful eyes

Roses make this garden sweet
flower prepares for beautiful Bread
oh, my hungry heart to eat
my moaning crevice finally fed!

and filled with crevices are the promises
empty entered, completion changed
sight beyond the landscape says
follow small, abandon fame

grow a Rose while you're going
the going's gentle, gradual too
grow a Rose while you're knowing
the path is sure, the Guide is true
