The Frost Bitten Rose

Tightly closed, the petals warm the autumn heart that summer lost ~ a blackened bud, once struck with cold appears to others dead, but burns within - a passionate soul, and heart of bright and crimson red!

This is just a phenomenal piece dear Craig.. I really love how you've illustrated such delicate details and personified the emotions of heart in such an impeccable way. Often, those souls which have been struck by hailstorms for too long appear to be lacking sentiments and mirror a dead existence, as numbness often makes their hopeful vision hazy. "the autumn heart that summer lost ~", "but burns within - a passionate soul..heart of bright and crimson red!" Those ending lines just hued magic ~
