captured by a tender rose...

my eye and imagination were captured by a rose today:




partially faded, drying in the frigid cold of winter, her petals growing thin and transparent… but with bits of crimson still vibrant around her edges. i wondered what stories of love, loss, and growing older she held inside her closed center.

a beauty still, but few will notice her bowed head.

i can't get her out of my mind…

    1. I find I'm drawn to images that describe the beauty in aging - especially as I get older!
