For Rose

She sings a little song that no one hears
It’s only blood, she sings. It’s only blood
It marks a heart that beats for bloody years
A flower starts from just a little bud

The bud I have is ganja, bloodless green
Sativa flowers as Sativa knows
A song unsung like flowers still unseen
Without a purpose, nothing ever grows

A bloody song, a bloody little song
Unlike the green that grows to counter pain
I never found the place where I belong
Where loss is something more than not to gain

I’ll sing again a quiet little song 
Perhaps you’ll hear it too and sing along.
