+*+*+

A luminous drop of morning dew,
reflects the light of early rising sun.
While resting precariously
on edge of delicate petal of pink,
a rainbow of color meets my eye.

Within this droplet of crystal light,
lie the secrets of this microcosmic world.
Roses in gay profusion lend their floral
essences to this enchanting garden divine,
promoting peace and rejuvenation.

A Shangri-La, where time stands still as
the sweet scent of roses permeates all
of one's being with eternal love and serenity.
A glint of light catches my eye and I gaze
into the liquid promise of roses forevermore.

+*+*+

Oh so beautiful Linda..
Your imagery is amazing...
I could almost smell the roses.

Excuse me while I run outside to take a deep breath of my mommy's roses.... This was beautiful!

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Linda, I love roses and all flowers sooooooo much and believe the cherubs truly contributed them to us so lovers can have something to pay an ode to that special someone! (kiss on cheek) I dream so much to give a flower to my dream girl, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Noah, whenever I receive roses from a man, he marvels that they can last for over three weeks. The reason for this is my sending the flowers love in return for the pleasure I derive from them!

EA...glad I read this.  Unfortunately, I have been in one of those moods today.  The house is quiet now...no more house guests...the children are with their father and you have just soothed me with your wonderful verse.  I am starting to feel some peacefulness now.  Funny thing, in about an hour I will be missing my children like crazy.  I have to laugh at the irony!

Sorry, got off track...Bottom line...this is beautiful, Linda!

Just my reading your words "soothed" and "peacefulness", fill me with same!

I know what you mean by missing your children as soon as they walk out the door!

I appreciate your openness and the sharing of your personal thoughts!
