| a striped rose that blesses my unfolding years |
How have you been encouraged?
Can you imagine not being called to bloom with the roses?
Do you know I hope to see it?
How Did The Rose?
How
did the Rose
ever open its heart
and give to this world all of its beauty?
It felt the encouragement of light against its being,
otherwise we all remain too
frightened.
