Paint Days with Roses, Whisper of Love
What tells your heart
to be content,
smile inwardly
to fragrance
knowing that it belongs
in one story that lasts a lifetime
of smiles
and trust
on the waves
of one emotion running with the winds
trying to keep the breeze
crisp inside rainbow
at one in harmony
the love
you’ve always dreamed of?
Roses greet you in colors
they tell each page
of life
their petals make you light as air
no matter how many days, seconds,
or decades ago
you said your last
I love you.
Why dream when you can touch
the velvet petals of one hope
see wishes alight on the ground
have walks on path of twilight
learn what one glimpse tells
of a thousand songs
remember what you left
out in forest
of sadness,
the anger of being forgotten
is soothed with violin
of cherished love.
No hardship can outlast
the power of a rose,
small, soft,
unbending,
it will take you to hearts
that share your song.
The fragrance of a rose
teaches you what it means
to know home in a dream
to spread the ivy
of belonging
one rose at a time
climbing on windowsill
to protect sleep,
devotion,
there is no closer friend
that will stay by your side
than roses of a life
of wonder.
