Smell The Roses

by Jeffrey Parren

The mind is a rosebud
coiled and unleashed
as the world rushes on.

The sun is an idea
warming that bud
preparing for fruition.

The water fallen, a catalyst
opening the bud to knowledge
and life's enlightenment.

The rosebud is a mind
as it opens the world halts
and everything takes on meaning

but the world rushes on.

I like those last four lines. You probably know this, but they pack a hell of a great punch when you say them outloud.
