A Budding Rose

The sun speaks of many things
into the ears of innocence
as wind’s comical parade
flitters round the edges
of a budding rose.

“Come dance” the sun asks
and the wind entices movement
but in the night the breeze of fright
brings fear into the night
and the bud cannot remember
the magic of the day.

Somber waits the rose
for the truth to be displayed
and for petals so confined
to sleep with open mind
and join the light and dark
in perfect harmony.

Another night, perhaps tonight,
the breeze will loosen fear
and return into the conscious mind
the honesty of dreams
that speaks of many things
and dances rosebud rings
around the sun and wind
each and every day.

And in the harmony
of night and day combined
a bud becomes a rose,
the wind blows soft and slow,
and in simple terms and honestly
the truth rises from your soul!

Thanks Susan, Jo, and Sunshine. Skipping is good for the heart but the heart sometimes gives a false start - you know, like falling in love with the wrong man.
