THE ROSE

My love is like a red rose sweet

In dusty dew that glistens

And from those droplets, light rays meet

A World that truly listens

The sweetness flows in lines of gold

That shimmer in the haze

And past does stop, in love enfold

Light's guide through worldly maze

Cupid's darts, bomb bursts of peace

Fire into land of hurt

And Desert Soul dines well at feast

Of plenty's new found spurt

That beauteous redness, hue of blood

That goblet's glistening glow

The Wine in Earth a listening flood

Of shimmering seeds to sow

And each seed grows to counter cold

In heart rays mirrored back

As all around, the world enfold

Warmth hearts no longer lack

The mirrors new in dusty dew

Light up a world of sorrow

As bounteous breeze of freshness blew

A Clarion note to follow

As Beauty flows to meet its fate

As petal curls to sever

That beauteous love does not abate

But lives in hearts forever
