A Sea of Roses

My wife and I talked on lunch this Friday the 28th,

she was at the nursery looking at roses and I was

at Starbucks looking at the bees pollenating the red

apple succulents.  After we stopped talking I was inspired

to write this.

In a world of color,

I walk and breathe,

An ocean of fragrance,

Where the bees swim and dance,

A buffet of colors,

Such a feast for the soul.

When one follows the fragrance,

To a covered hill of roses,

Their beauty stands tall,

On the strength of their thorns,

Each bloom a different face,

And each scent a different song.

Some scents sing of spice,

Others of warm feeling,

Some sing of sweet memories,

For love never dies,

Many words unspoken,

In each of their sighs.

And I walk in life,

With my Rose by my side,

Her fragrance giving love,

And her love giving strength,

It is love’s music life composes,

As we dance in a sea of roses.
