The Fear of Joy

bymisterwho©

Before the rose blossoms
And we smell its fragrance

Before dawn breaks
And we marvel at the first dew

Before spring breaks
And the first blossoms are seen

Before we find each other
And feel our breath on one another

We lament
the crushing of petals
the falling darkness
the barrenness of autumn

And
Our separation
