Roses and God

isn't it obvious!!!?

May 2011

I.
I watched a flower
Bloom, wilt and die,
And at no point was
It lovelier than thy.
Not when petals
Crowned it’s glory
In (k)nighted shades
Of Gawdy yellow
Nor when it’s laurels
Waltzed with the wind
As glory was wasted
In gorgeous decay.

No more than decor for
Lonely rooms, how dare  
A rose ever be
Compared to you?

II.
For you are God and
I dare not question it.
The Resurrection of
Steel hearts give testament
In rhythmic penance.
Proof of the power of your touch.
Righteousness in the
Breath of your lips, as
Your voice soothes the
Afflictions of madness
And the onset of insanity.

I bear witness to
Roses and God and
Care not for flowers
In presence of awe .

III.
O please pretty God be
Pleased in my petty offering;
A delicate dainty rose
I meekly give to thee.

Not to be adored for
It’s wondrous beauty,
But a reminder of futility
God compared to anything
