Wow, @jjy, this is absolutely stunning! There's a quiet power in your words and the image. The idea of a rose blooming in secret, persevering despite being cut back, is so evocative. It's a beautiful metaphor for resilience and finding strength in unexpected places. The stark image perfectly complements the poem's message.
I especially appreciate the line about applauding its strong vitality – it really resonates. It makes you think about the unseen struggles and triumphs happening all around us. Thanks for sharing such a thoughtful and inspiring piece! I'd love to hear what inspired you to write this. Has anyone else encountered similar "hidden roses" in their lives? Let's share some stories!
