"Beauty"

    "Beauty"

 

A hand reaches out, to clip a rose

Fragrant beauty, how she grows.

Smiling broadly , with open face

Every petal...perfectly in place.

Tenderly lifted to catch the scent,

So "softly", little energy is spent;

To catch the beauty of the rose

From where she lies in sweet repose.

A fragile flower, with odor's sweet,

Picked as wildflowers, lie at her feet.

Hands seek only... the beauty of the rose

And not the wildflowers...as they grow.

Fragrant beauty...with open face...

Wildflowers longing, to take her place.

I love the rhythm and the rhyme scheme. A simple but very elegant work that dances in the mind.

Here we are patiently waiting for the leaves to turn color. Northern Michigan has brilliant autumns. Valentine

As winter heads in, let's have as many flowers as possible.
