Humanity is transforming
into a rose of a unique kind
An evolution from a narrow perspective
to that, of a truly open mind

This rose is not growing
for only one season
With every petal in a specific place
all is there for an important reason

Right now we grow in the darkness
and we fully feel the sting of each thorn
but once we surpass the growing pains
we will feel more than reborn

The rose needs the mud to flourish
to grow and reach new height
but now that it is gathering what it needs
it can soon show all its inner light

With grace, fortitude and love
each moment we will open up more
showing our true strength
and our inner light, like never before

And while the metamorphosis is almost revealed
we already begin to smell and see
the rose we are soon to become
that we were always meant to be
*
Just be and keep shining in 2012!

(and this is how it looks like for those I sent it to in a card)

(real rose petals made a new 'flower'...after an amazing dream I had about a beautiful metaphor of an intricate rose...my focus was....guess what, on roses! :)
