Listening to every heart

Looking for the Wild Rose

Who knows where the wild rose grows
In rocky crag, or mountainous slag
Beside the brook, oh where should one look?
For where would the wild rose grow?

The gypsy, she had said to me
“Find where the wild rose grows ~
Follow you see yon honeybee
And search for your wild red rose.”

Honeybee and I searched the valleys
Beyond fields so green, we waded streams
Following in trance, honeybee and I
All for a wild rose dream.

We looked so far and wide, you see
To find where such wild rose grows
But elusive it is, it resides, who knows?
Where, indeed, does the wild rose grow?

The gypsy said I would find my love
That he and I would never part
Wherever in secret the wild rose grows
Perhaps it blooms only in my heart?

But should you find where the wild rose grows
Will you cleverly send me a sign?
For I would love the Love that stands
Wherever, for that wild rose may be mine.

Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen?  Keeping in mind, I must stand close...and keep my promises...

Karilea, you need look no further than your very own heart.

Karilea~
'Where, indeed, does the wild rose grow?'

I would listen to that gypsy ... and keep searching~

Lovely thoughts played my mind as I read~
Thinking I'll take that camera out for a stroll through the meadows today ... for I have seen the wild rose in bloom ... and need to lens-capture it~

Karilea

I have one in my side yard...climbing its heart into everything ....I'll send you a photo.  But, I do agree...about the rose being in your heart too!

How very lovely...
Another 'Karilea Keeper'...
hugs YOU!

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul
