A Nude Rose...

Life Book 2015, Week 36, led by Donna Downey.  We are to draw a nude showing strength.

I love this poem by JJ and used it as my inspiration:

A nude lady rose,

plucked as if her life is due heavens course.

To be laid upon a barren corpse.

Dying with the gift to still be alive.

Kissing the dead as she displays her color of red,

a fiery contrast upon a marbled breast.

Her Radiance among the pale of skin,

gives her a peace be if one in just, within.

Her only place,

to give color to the dead of any race.

Herself dying,

the irony of living freshly cut.
