smooth, silky, soft petals
embrace my finger tips
as the rose lay gracefully
in my timid hand
my fingers release the flower
and it glides back into place
green blades of the grass
add a spring in my step,
tickling the vulnerable
underbelly of my barefoot
the wind caresses my face
and charms my hair as it
moves as one with the wind
the white joyful clouds
meld into one, while its color
becomes a little more somber
and the clouds foreshadow for rain
I anticipate the crisp cold sense
of the shower about to come
the drops soar throughout the sky
only wishing that one would pass my way
the drops find me and collide with my skin
becoming one with me, as they sink in
the crisp, cold drops begin to cleanse
me of all my possible sins
the grass once again strokes my foot
as I make my way towards bliss
I reach out, my fingers outstretched
as I once again grasp the rose
the petals may not be silky or smooth
but a whole new kind of beauty
is born with the rain
for the rose as undergone change

Flowers and grass , bare feet and a shower
You added so much of what is beauty with this entry Thank you and best wishes.
May I suggest that you capitalize the I's though ( if only for the sake of the contest , as I find it easier to read , as well that it is the grammar thing
I do know that a lot of times we do not do that, I would just prefer it this time
