Como Nacio La Rosa
Alberto Cortez
How the Rose Was Born
It seems to me
Seeing her so graceful.
It had to be this way
How the rose was born.
An agreement between lovers.
A secret affair.
Two kindred souls
Accepted the dare
To invent beauty
With the old script
Of great feats:
Love in its entirety.
They started one day
Sharing the pollen,
And from that joy
Colors were born
And all the fragrances;
The finest balms:
A breeze of doves
And all the flowers.
In love, passionately,
With a touch of tenderness,
In love, passionately
They carved the structure
And in love, passionately
Fiery and joyful,
In love, passionately,
This is how the rose was born.
Life keeps rolling
Handing out labels,
And even as it tumbles
From flip to flip.
As a form of baggage
Blooming and beautiful,
In the middle of the journey
The rose stays alive.
It seems to me
Seeing her so graceful.
It had to be this way
How the rose was born.
