One day I will be free...

One day I will be free.
Free from all that binds me to this Earth
This Earth that is as breathtaking as the red Rose with a fragrance that entices and allures, but when you get too close the thorns attack and you bleed
I do not want to get close
But I will look after the Rose and I will not neglect it
I'll Feed it
Water it
Protect it from harm
Give but never take
Because if I take I'll be doomed
So blinded by the beauty of the flower
I will ignore the thorns that will one day come for me
And I will forget the inevitable truth that my Rose will one day wither to dust
How can I place my happiness in something that will never last?
