If you would like to see the page I have made for this poem just go to my site and click on the LOVE button...it will take you to the right page. **hugs** I know it is long but I hope you enjoy the fantasy of it. Wild Pink Rose His eyes blink open as his senses tell him there is a sound which doesn't belong in this place of wild beauty. The pool is calm and glass clear with wisps of early morning fog all but hiding if from view. He can hear bur not see the cascading falls just around the bend slightly hidden from his view as it flows gently into the pool. The trees stand tall and serene filling all space to the very waters edge except upon this small section where he camps. He hears the voices of a few birds as they begin their early search to feed the young, thriving in their nests. He has come to this place to rest his heart and soul, far away from the stress of a world gone mad with no thought to human kind and the misery many endure. His heart is soft and gentle with a deep desire to share his life with someone who can give themselves with a pure and honest completeness. This man has seen and experienced the pain of love betrayed by one he thought shared the dreams of his heart. His senses now have found the source of the sound yet no sound comes from the vision he sees but can't believe. She is tall, straight of limb and stately as the trees from where she advances with slow sure steps as if she flows at one with nature around her. Her hair is spun silver and flows down her back reflecting rainbows as the sun peeks through fog to cast light on this vision of womanhood. Eyes of a brilliant green, deep like the forest, sparkle with a gaiety of life yet softened at the same time gazing at him with gentle compassion. A gown of silver that simmers with each move she takes drapes a body that is perfect in every detail. Her feet are bare needing no adornment as she walks with the beauty and grace of a deer at one with the forest around her. A smile of promise and acceptance lights her face making it impossible not to return the smile of this fair lady. He has not spoken for the shock of waking to such a magical sight has robbed him of his tongue. With delicate hands that show gentleness and strength she hands him a gift he knows she was sent to give this man of wounded heart. A perfect dark maple leaf is placed in his receiving hands and as he tears his eyes away from her he sees that placed in the center of the leaf is a brilliant Wild Pink Rose. His eyes snap back to her as his ears receive the sound of her voice that flows over him like a gently flowing brook, very soothing to the soul. "This perfect rose is given you from untouched reaches of the forest with a promise that though now you feel the pain of love lost, still there is another prepared for you who will fill your heart with desire." "Lose not your faith in this world where love is rare, but seek the one to who your heart, body, mind and soul you share." "Accept not the games played for fun and gain but stay to the path of eternal love most true." With a smile to melt the heart of the most hardened man she turns from him and walks quietly away. With a start he opens his eyes and smiles... "t'was just a dream", than glancing down he sees a perfect Wild Pink Rose upon a Maple Leaf.
