Quiet Whispers

~ a collaboration with Trace ~

Gently intertwined

vines tremble

as the wind quietly whispers

with the scent of roses

 

Beauty fills my heart

and words interlace

rising in a delicate mist

                         of the sweetest inspiration….

 

               

 

Gather me in your embrace

so you can see inside my soul

my reflection…

with mere words

 

A melody….

      your melody

etched upon my heart

lingering in a lullaby for two

 

The sweetest rhapsody

like a pairing of birds

winging to heaven

           as the world pauses...

 

  Lend me your lips

                 so I may taste your magic

mysterious and silky

          like showers of dewdrops

wet

as a falling tear

 

As soft as the beauty

that fills my heart

with quiet whispers

          and the scent of roses

 

…blooming only for you

so pretty, this art by Lauri Blank must have taken a long while to draw, these things take so much time, so many hours and hours of a day, it is quite amazing, something to like just watch and wonder where its all going or taking us, what do we do each moment when the roses are packaged up from there greenhouses for February or in June when the roses are growing outside, what are we to do who have no money for fertilizer or rose food, or new plants from the nurseries, I don't know what to do about it, thinking that this is a variety of flower which makes us quite happy the scent of it
