Lies The Rose

We're our own hearts foundation to inner peace
Ever climbing or falling to reach it's extreme
Just clinging tenaciously to salvation's hands
And, continually gathering dreams...

We ride the tides coming in and going out
Ever changing and not a one the same
We learn with it's effort to give as it takes
And, grow stronger with it's mighty rains...

We march for satisfaction and it's gain to freedom
Holding on for dear life to keep the faith
Daring hope to lose grip in a moment in life
Praying that our fall be our worldly escape...

We dance to the breeze of forgiveness when it blows
And, the burdens flee like the dust in the wind
And, someone else finds the scattered but shattered remains
That we find hard to recapture again...

We sing the melody of life going through each day
But, the real tune is yet to be heard
We laugh in the uncertain kind of way
Not sure if we've grasped each spoken word...

We listen with only so willing ears
Find fame in what we want to hear
Lose reality in the awe that surrounds you and I
Making clear to stay away from teary-eyed...

Somewhere it exists all that's worth holding on
And, in a heartbeat life plays it's everlasting song
Life's like a field of flowers picking and choosing what grows
Cause, in the center of it all lies the rose...

Saunni~
This is exquisite sweet poetess~

'Somewhere it exists all that's worth holding on
And, in a heartbeat life plays it's everlasting song
Life's like a field of flowers picking and choosing what grows
Cause, in the center of it all lies the rose...'


Remarkably tender and delicately said~
