Excellence Award in the 'Spread The Word 2017' competition

Seek what you seek,
And come for what you need,
Your spirit and soul are troubled in your roots.
But at the least touch of life,
Then let the flower bloom,
And make the living sound,
As music fills the air.
The rose seed is planted in the ground,
The snow comes with the winter mound,
The rose is crystallized in the living ground,
Yet the rose is still yet to bloom.
As the rose begins to bloom,
The thorns grow up next to it.
And as they say: ‘A Rose between two Thorns’.
