Analysis of Darling (by Deborah Rose)
Between a dry rose petal dust
Between the sheets of paper
And a soft, single dream
How many minutes …
‘Slow motion' stream.
Silken is the thread, hushed is the dawn
When listless night ends and
Tomorrow turns into a morn….
Whispering it with a rose, with a sigh
Thankful that we never said ‘goodbye'.
Weave me the dream silken as the thread
Leave me a song with a ‘slow motion' stream
Then you will see some rose petal dew
Slowly weaving in, I'm praying the dream
With which softly to say ‘Thank you'.
~I love you~
