[hometext] => This actually needs to be read as if it were in two parts..may be easier to understand the meaning that way..
[bodytext] => As the stars shine down upon you
They reveal the scars upon your face The tears roll down your cheeks And rest upon your chin The price you've paid is the marks you've earned They're starting to sneak past your smiles So still you stand upon the pavement Looking past the view to the world below Wondering if your solitude against it has been worth it Resisting the urge to drop to your knees Your hands stretched out Hoping to catch some sort of approval Some kind of sign Today you've learned to stand your ground To recieve your sign you need only to open your eyes A single solitary rose Standing poignant against a clouded background Resisting all urges to bend in the wind Reaching ever deeply into the rich soil Hoping to catch just one drop of moisture Clutching beauty in it's grasp The skies above begin to haze and turn pink The silencing night starts to appear The culdesac below darkens The leaves reach higher into the last glimpses of sunlight Those last few rays burn so deep Straight through to the inner core Providing a warmth like no other Tempting the soul into desires Finally the last bit of light turns to vapors Nothing left in the blackness but odors Sense left to the mind now instead of the skin And as the first evening star peeks it's brightness through the clouds, The rose still stands there reaching Closing it's petals once again As the coolness of night overcomes it Standing it's ground, holding it's beauty Allowing only peace and serenity in Your tears do not fall in vain For each tear that falls feeds into the earth And with that nourishment, A rose is born....
