Words Like Roses



Words like roses

delicate

passionate

fragile

a lingering sentiment

that touches our heart

awakens our sensibilities

and in silence

our soul sublime.




Rose Marie Raccioppi


The Soul of the Rose, 1908, John William Waterhouse, 1849 – 1917.

Thank you for stopping by.
This is a lovely poem, as is the one one about bamboo.
I can smell the roses in your words.
And feel the bamboo whispering in the breeze.
