The dark rose-colored petals that penetrate the cold of the falling winter,
they catch my eye as I make the numerous journeys through the kitchen each evening
going to the computer, back to my room, for a drink of water...
I must pass by at least 30 times a night.

And they continue to sit there, beautiful and alone.

When I walk into my room, I see another memory that sparkles by candlelight or glistens from the rays of many setting suns

The reminders are all around me... and boy is it nice. :)
