Rose Requiem

In slumber, she is surrounded by the beauty of red roses, A serene and peaceful scene, a moment of stillness. The roses, a symbol of love and passion, entwine her form, As if holding her close, in a gentle, loving norm. Her lips, a deep crimson, a subtle, sensual smile, Invite the viewer to pause, and linger for a while. The soft, flowing hair, a wild tangle of gray, Framing her face, a picture of beauty, in a gentle way. The contrast of red and black, a dramatic, moody hue, Creates a sense of mystery, and a story anew. In this moment, she is free, unencumbered and light, A vision of loveliness, a wondrous, peaceful sight.
