Shameless # Creative Challenge 61

Photobucket

 

Standing shameless before you 

Colours muted

By the dimness of the day

Petals unfurled and fragrant

As my essence I expose

Clear and soft rain beads

Of moisture

Covering my glory with their wetness 

In this moment of last flush 

I am

Your Winter Rose.
