I Have Seen a Rose Awaken  I have seen a rose awaken in the warmth of morning hour Unwrapping velvet nighttime sheets that shield the fragile flower Unfolding in the misty dawn still in a veil of sleep Unraveling the coverlet of shadows dark and deep As little crystal beads of dew form on the velvet rose The sunbeams gently lifts her up from dreams of soft repose And slowly shed the tears of night, her silken pearly gown The petals that once hid her face, are now her crimson crown Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Nan (01-15-2003 09:58 AM).] |

the rose graphic pales next to the beauty of your words...such lovely imagery..such well crafted rhymes and word play. Wonderful to read you Poetess Liz.  It's over long before her fall from grace, she's never been this far from safe. |

I have seen a gracious flower ever stretching toward the sun So determined in her journey not to fail nor be undone And despite the many obstacles she faces day to day She exudes a lovely fragrance blessing all who come her way. ~ You are one of the blessings in my life, Elizabeth. It is always a pleasure to be able to spend time with you. I enjoyed my time today with you and Christina. Thank you again for lunch. It was delicious! Talk to you soon! |

Elizabeth, there's really nothing I can say that hasn't already been said. But, I do think this is absolutly beautiful. Roses are my favorite flowers. Thank you for the poem. And whoever did the rose, it's beautiful, too.. "Love makes the world go around" |
