A Dozen ROSES...

A Dozen ROSES gifted to me...

A dozen Roses in splendor they be

Such beauty of bloom graced onto thee

The majestic in petals of passion's embrace

The beauty, the magic, within heart I place.

Thank You Dear  Esther Dederichs.

And so it is...

In a vase so beautifully they now stand 

Such be this gift of the Creator’s hand

Petals in bloom open to the light they be

The passion of a Red Rose beckons one to see

The beauty that unfolds in such resplendent array

Sweet, sweet be the savor of spirit brought our way.

White Orchid

A gift of bloom for Mother's Day
And with loving care white orchid's array
Petals like angel wings alight
Delicate in their regal splendor white
Such sentient majesty this grace of bloom
The light of stars and a cresting moon
Unfurl be your budding center divine
In florid embrace wings within sublime.

Majestic Array

Radiant be its majestic array
The light to touch its petals this day
Emergent splendor within this budding divine
Its color, its form, opulence sublime
The reaching grace of each petal I to perceive
And known be the Great Mind in which I believe.

Majestic Array

Petals enfolding the caress of light
Wings of violet brushed with white
Savor I such flowering rapture this day
The Iris, Spring's bloom in majestic array.

Moments Opulent

Sounding depths of drama
Pulsing peaks of passion
In sonorous submission to the divine
All despair dispelled
And known be the sentiment of soul
This night, moments opulent
Enfolded in the embrace
Of music, music, majestic.
