As we live our daily lives we seek truth.
It is what surrounds us that we most cherish.
We unfold every pedal of a rose
Until we find the inner beauty.
This hidden gift begins to glow like a diamond jewel,
because it begins to lighten the world with color.
Ever y moment in our lives adds to the spectrum of life a different color.
Through every rise and fall we discover meaning and truth.
Every barrier we overcome makes us cherish
What we become—a blossomed rose.
It is then we discover the beauty
Of life because to the world we become a valuable jewel.
Like a rose, we flourish and add color to the world.
Like a jewel we are cherished because we bring beauty to life.
Like life itself, we bring about truth to those who seek it most.

I love the way you used a rose and jewel to convey the importance of each person's individuality and beauty. This poem has great imagery; I could picture myself unfolding the petals of a rose. The line that stands out most to me is "Through every rise and fall we discover meaning and truth" because it reminds me that even when life is hard, there is always something to be learned and room for me to grow as a person.
ReplyDeleteI like the imagery you use with the rose pedal and the jewels. I could imagine world lighting up with color as the truth of the poem came out. I really enjoyed this poem! The idea of individuality is enhanced with the picture of oneself witnessing greatness,

I like how you used colors to describe the different moments in life. Interesting way to contrast the other portions of your poem.

Loved this. I'm partially biased because I'm obsessed with roses (it's my last name), but I truly enjoyed reading this poem. I loved the detail, the vivid imagery, and the comparisons you made between tangible objects and emotions.
