~*Link and minimize to hear music with poem please*~ Play Sringrain song ~* Her Heart Is Like A Tender Rose *~Her heart I liken to a tender rose protected in a casing of sorrow. She waits to have its petals unfolded not knowing where truth and safety hides. Perhaps it listens to the sweet songs of birds, Tastes the drizzle of the rain and mist, hoping for some one to trust and hold it? She knows life’s seasons all too well, and retracts at the rays of the sun for it has scorched her petals too often. She waits holding her heart next to her bosom in safety. It will burst forth in jubilant hues as she waits for this season to change. Feel safe, know fully your season, then bloom, open your petals exhibit your raiment, my lady. Bask in the rays of the sun, accept your tears with the rain, and know this that the life of the bloom is your heart, protect it well. It is precious, invaluable and dear. The source of its beauty was always you. In this new season, rejuvenate, rejoice And with new found trust, blossom. This fragile heart, with petals fresh can open knowing it is surrounded in love. ~* For You My Friend - A Rose Of Hope and Peace *~ Graphic ~ Linda Bergkvist "Heart" small rose ~ Sultry Rose Graphics music ~ Bruce de Boer "Spring Rain" [This message has been edited by Mysteria (01-18-2002 06:06 PM).] |

Mysteria, it is always a pleasure reading your work. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

You've touched me on this one...and without the music. Now, tomorrow morning, I shall read it again with the music, just to see how one enhances the others... Oh, it was a good day for Passions when you came along... |

Just when I was thinking I could not write anything worthwhile to post here, I see your "smiling faces" here on this thread and it indeed fills me with the warmth that seems to glow within the walls that Ron created, called Passions. Thank you so much for your comments, as this is to a friend I care deeply about and empathize with all the pain she is being put through so unnecessarily. There is hope for her, and where there is hope, there is always light, and ultimately love! This my way of showing her I am but one that holds her in my keeping. Thank you all again.

As the wonder of a rose unfurls, so does this poetic work of art. One passionate read filled with much heart... I stand and applaud with much admiration! You most certainly have not lost your touch... Love and peace ((~.~)) |

I agree with Nan, This is much better than a sonnet, uncontrived, honest, and straight from the heart, It is full of lve and friendship, and I would have known the authur if you hadn't signed it, because it is who you are, THank you for sharing this exquisite peice I enjoyed the music with it' You do have a way of creating atmosphere I can imagine dinner at your house A Martha Stewart evening od sights and sounds Keep up the good work Love you Liz |

Janet Marie ~ Thank you - to warm her heart was my intention. Maggie - Thank your for your comment, I really needed to hear that these days. Elizabeth - You and I shall share dinner soon, and that is all my mind has been on for days, and will be until we do hold hands as friends "in the flesh" as it were! I simply can't wait (but you already know that!) Thank you dear lady. HEG - So nice to meet you, and thank you so much for reading this poem. ~* CARPE' DIEM *~ |

Feel safe, know fully your season, then bloom, open your petals exhibit your raiment, my lady. Bask in the rays of the sun, accept your tears with the rain, and know this that the life of the bloom is your heart, protect it well. I had to choose the same as Janet...I guess we meet on this. Yes...know yourself..your limits and glide upon it in glorious bloom. I simply adore this Mysteria. Sincerely, Regina |

Charisma ~ I think when you are a good friend you attract good friends, I am blessed and thank you. Ellie LeJeune ~ Thank you so much - p.s. will be passing through King of Prussia on the way to visit someone in PA in April so will think of you. rWood ~ Hi Regina and yes that is the secret to living life in general isn't it? Gentle Spirit ~ What a nice thing to say, and I feel grateful I found you all! Martie ~ bet your words would "flower" more, as this is your friend too, and there is no one, absolutely no one, who has words like you do dear friend. Startime ~ Thank you - p.s. the bulbs are shooting up here, how's it going over that way? ~* CARPE' DIEM *~ |
