Sleepless Rose

You seem so tired
Why don’t you rest,
It is now time
To end your quest
Enfold your body
With the silk of a rose
Letting the petals
Tickle your toes
While the sweet aroma
Lifts you into a dream
To encase you in fantasy
Or so it may seem,
Where you can reach out a finger
To touch heaven's doors
And leave behind
The day's exhausting wars
Now sleep my dear angel
Let your eyes close
Tomorrow will wait
With another perfect rose
