Last Rose of Summer

I cautiously touched the
last rose of summer as it grew.
It was so demure, shining brightly
flower with a golden hue.

Each petal was perfection
no signs of blight no eaten spot.
If it had any blemishes
I spied them not.

The color of sunlight
on a hot clear summer's day
and those darker deeper shades
in the center it did display.

It sparkled and beamed triumphant
declaring it's presence.
I became transfixed, lost partaking
of it's essence.

How much it meant to see
what beauty nature holds
on top, beneath, and in between
that rose's precious folds.
