#16 White Rose

A poem for a friend, far away. To show she's not alone.

This poem originally was published in Friendship Poems

White Rose

by Walter Poe

In the storm
Stands the white rose
tumultuous waves
of destruction abound her

Yet tall is the white rose
strong in the face
Of the sensed doom around her
And she does not bow down

Pure is the white rose
In the compost earth
growing eternal strength
in the nights that so hurt

I see not the white rose
She is so far away
But I long to protect her
But only the words can I say

So I send her my words
And my poets heart
To help her when
there is hope to see her through

Be Strong little flower
Your heart will guide true
And as long as you want
I will always talk to you

well, i was looking for a poem to send to a friend who left for the States before i even got to see her. we got to know each other accidentally through Friendster when she forgot to Log out her account. then i was th one who used the computer next. so there. She was heartbroken that time, so i kept sending her messages to comfort Her. And so i think this Poem is perfect. Thanx a lot for the one who made it, you just made two people happy.

This is a truly a transpersonal piece that touches each individual in a different way. It will go right to the soul of a relationship and find the connections and they will immediately become tranparent. A piece worth more than just a look. A piece worth an award!
