Midnight Rose
Reflection
In the shadows, a rose blooms, its beauty untainted by the darkness that surrounds it.
Like the woman who holds it, the rose is a symbol of resilience and strength.
Its petals, soft as skin, yet unyielding to the forces that seek to crush them.
The woman's eyes, like the rose, hold a deep and abiding beauty, a beauty that is both captivating and haunting.
As she gazes out, her eyes seem to hold a thousand secrets, a thousand stories of love, loss, and longing.
The rose, too, holds its own secrets, its fragrance wafting up like a whispered promise.
Together, the woman and the rose form a tableau of elegance and mystery, a testament to the power of beauty to transcend even the darkest of circumstances.
