There are time the rose pricks one’s hand
and leaves upon the heart a moment of
wonder.   A time of simple reflection,
of bewilderment or ponder.

A time when the bloom of a bud happens
silently, almost invisibly...yet brings to
the shimmer of one’s eye such form
and passion.

Bring to my aching eyes the passion that melts
one’s heart and tugs the hearty sigh from
once moistened lips....

For, only then the gaze shall grasp the moment
and cast upon the earth that lies before
a foot that waits to step...and share life’s
joys...forever till a fiery dawn rises no
more...

Introspection blushes rose highlights on the sighs of this most wonderful write.

Barry, with my muse as my witness, I swear I was breathing in the beautiful scent of a rose as I was reading your lovely poem.
