About the Poem
The Rose symbolizes the "closure" of a love lost, and the opening of the heart to new loves. Although moving on can be extremely difficult, it is also very necessary. This poem holds a special place in my heart, and I hope it may find a way into yours. Thank you for reading. -E.R.
The Rose |
| by Edward Racey |
| A petal falls from a dying rose and gently crashes to the floor. Just outside a cold wind blows. A petal falls from a dying rose. Then this window I will close and open up this beating door. A petal falls from a dying rose and gently crashes to the floor. |
