I Dare to Prose a Broken Rose.



We spend our whole lives filling holes,
Drilling new ones, then filling those.

I dare to prose a broken rose
A rose so lovely for the nose.

That those who chose to fill these holes
May feel whole and complete

They'll take their starts and have fresh hearts
And feel their new heartbeats.
