The farmer sows his seeds in the garden
gently, carefully, just as his father
did before him.

whispering to the seeds,
with a delicate tongue
and a blissful tune

that when The farmer returns to reap what he has sown,
a plentiful garden of White roses will be
ready for the plucking

or better yet
ready to decorate ones home with porcelain stained petals
that glow as bright and pure as the stars.

But,
The farmer is disappointed when
he spots a disturbance in his garden,

golden petals that reflect the light of day
and shine as bright as the sun,

a burning Yellow rose.
