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.
