a rose.

[...in loving memory...]
you were a rose too beautiful for anything on earth
so God restored you to the sky
where only the clouds could help you grow the wings you needed
so you can fly over us and watch us
wrap those wings around us to protect us as we dream

and now you sleep soundly on the rainbows that ignite your beauty
like a flame catching fire on a spectrum in all its different shades
reflecting across our tired eyes

each time i look to the sky
a feather from your wings lifts my spirit
the sun rested on your eyelashes
that each time you opened your eyes
a new day began with your awakening
i am reminded of you and i can't help but smile.
because i know i slept in the embrace of an angel
before this new day reached existence.
