Rose in the Mist In the dismal mist of morning in the grey of early dawn There’s a damp and raw forewarning of a fate that has been drawn It is etched into a blueprint of the dank and musky dew It’s a waiting untread footprint of a storm about to brew There’s a rose about to flower looking upward to the sun There are threads of fate’s own power that could shortly come undone There are petals in the rosebud deeply hidden from the eye And the beams to spurn the lifeblood of its glory, in the sky There are misty days before me Some inscribed upon a stone But concealed behind the stormy clouds, a rose that I have grown It is nourished in the lush of silken petals of my own Elizabeth Santos |

There are misty days before me Some inscribed upon a stone But concealed behind the stormy clouds, a rose that I have grown It is nourished in the lush of silken petals of my own ----------------------------- So beautiful.....I think I'll have to dig deeper in this to see all the hues of this rose in the mist... Thank you ****************************** |

How easy it would be for one to think "what a sad poem" and me....I see the beauty that hides within the folds... this is marvelous, and a keeper... thank you! |

Elizabeth, this is lovely, though I feel the warning in here as well. Much hope reigns within us all, I think. Your rose is beautiful. Sandra |

I'm nearly speechless here. Elizabeth you have outdone yourself. I wish that I had written this, it fits a dear friend of mine so well. She is my Eternal Rose. Thank You for this piece. |
