There is a Rose

There is a rose vine in the soul
Inherently it grows
Yet few are truly well aware
They bear a sacred rose

Invisibly it’s seed is sewn
Intrinsically it sprouts
And blooms to fullest vibrancy
In throws of deepest doubts

It’s the weathervane of conscience
It’s the beauty of our deeds
It’s the flower bestowed another
In the hour of darkest needs

From whence the seed was planted there
How deep the roots have grown
Is an answer that the spirit spares
For tenure of its own

The rose defines inherent love
Regard for all mankind
And it’s fragrances appear in times
Of frailties of the mind

The petals will caress the heart
With what it knows as true
And the heart looks to another face
With all respect that’s do

Inherent grace of soul’s desire
The roses on a vine
Grow silently in gardens place
And spread to heart and mind

It’s not from heritage it blooms
Nor home from which it’s bred
It’s born with child and nurtured
As the vines so gently spread

Innate is love that’s given to all
From where nobody knows
It’s there within the depths of soul
And beauty of a rose

A rose is a rose is a rose. And you have left a breath of it, here on our impose.

Liz, you write of roses often, and I bet in all those poetry books there are enough poems of roses to get at least one book published called, "Petals Of A Rose", I keep trying to get this done don't I?  That rosette was also a beautiful addition to the book I haven't bought yet.

I do believe your little trip
did you a world of good!  You
have been pulling magic out of
a very special hat, it seems!

Keep it up!

As you might suspect, I have a special affinity for poetry of the rose. (I wrote one or two as Mike) Beautifully written, enjoyed much.

(smiles) Awwwwwww, this is sooooooo pretty, sweet friend, may the rose of our hearts always bloom and may blessings always kiss it like a honeybee looking for nectar! (kiss on cheek) This is breathtaking, sweet friend, we all love you so much!



May love and light always shine upon you!
