Rose Sleeping, Rose Rising

Rose Sleeping
Sleeping rose, in the night,
Your soft petals sleep so light.
Rose sleeping, near the moon,
Why will you have to wake so soon?

Rose Rising
Rising rose, it’s morning time,
In the light, your petals shine.
Rose rising, to the sun,
Are you shining for someone?
