Truth of Life

In my ruminations abouteh secrets of the world
I stumbled across two Truths.
That show Mankind's utter foolishness:

God had an epiphany to create the Rose,
To teach about the majority of life that
Such a work of Beauty could cloak a beast of Pain.

And yet the thorny heart that speaks of Love,
That pierces to draw, not blood, but tears,
Conquers the "Shade" that shot the "Dove".

Though "Shade" is just a guise of isolation.
That, somehow, breaks Man's inner peace.
And drives him to embrace the Rose
To shield Him from what? He doesn't know.
