Vase of Roses
As I lay in bed, my restless eyes
search my room. A smile plays
across my face as my vision falls
upon a lonely vase of roses.
How peaceful they look, so serene,
starkly beautiful against the white walls
of my room. Long, thorny stems reach
for my ceiling from a delicate blue vase.
Each crimson petal full of life and
beauty—an aesthetic I hope to replicate
within myself.
