The ROSE

 

The ROSE

Behold the light of a thousand flames

It the pulsing of the HEART

Behold the light of truth and justice

It the SUN that warms and nourishes

Behold the light that waxes and wanes

It the MOON in reflections of a journey

Behold the light of the ever-present spirit

It the brilliance of each STAR

Behold the light of luxuriant petals and piercing thorns

It the passion, the bloom, the knowing of the ROSE.
