PROGRESS UPDATE
A goal of Lara Inskip on their 101 Things in 1001 Days list with a status of Done.
I put out my hand and plucked a rose,
A red satin rose with a velvet scent
and I chaliced its loveliness in reverent palms
knowing that it was perfect.
And because I could not make the rose
And because I could not paint the rose
Nor carve it, nor mold it,
nor even draw it's beauty in my words,
I slowly closed my fingers over it
And crushed it
