Hush

and push me among the roses

a bottomless bed of thorns

hush

tumble with me

to soil and root

down

to the brazen outline of petals

that guard the path we took

before

I wanted us

to weep beside them

with purity of scent

in peace

and quiet.

"hush" "down" "before" "peace"

~ Rest "quiet" dear Gem Drop. Remember the smell of the roses, not the feel of those nasty thorns.

Loves 'n hugs,

Sighh...beautiful Gemmie

Maree.

Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.

"peace and quiet"

Both seem so fleeting...

Well done.
