Some Roses

for my lovely daughter

Some roses are so lovely

they see you smile…

 

petals dance

                on a lullaby

the joy of a songbird’s melody

high up in the trees

 

As graceful as the wind stirring your hair

weaving golden threads to catch the beauty of the day

             the light that is you

 

First in my love, my strength, my happiness….

 

In times of struggle, I look to you as I would an indigo dream

of endless skies and warm spring days

and birds that sing with lifted voice

 

as poetry finds my heart again

 

and I think

some roses are so lovely

Even before I got to the line that mentions it, I was hearing birds chirping and seeing the plants and flowers gently sway in the breeze.
This is why poetry exists, to fully convey feelings bursting from a heart.
I'm sure these words will be a future treasure to that child, all grown.
Beautifully penned.

I just bounced in to see what condition my condition was in.
And here is a beautiful poem from you.
Always love reading whats in your mind and heart.

I liked the way you moulded few lines so beautifully.....there were a couple of lines where you could have simply written them but you weaved them into melody.....and lastly *as poetry finds my heart again*......hit me hard.....it's the basic tie/feeling/reason which brings us here....
All the best for future

I do believe you’re right... some roses are so lovely. Their inspiration can be felt around the world through a well written piece such as this :)

I love the way your mind entwines words to the page! It is as lovely and intricate as the art work paired with it. You have a way of painting with words that I have not read any where else. Well done my friend! You are very talented and a joy to read! “Some roses are so lovely!”

What a heart whelming write! The way you infused someone’s beauty with the beauty of nature itself is so down to earth. We are all part of nature, but some of us overpower mother nature's beauty with their own stunning existence, some complete it and some make more beautiful. Thank you for sharing this extraordinary poem.

It's strange how we find ourselves in a strange place when we examine normal things... there is no path it's just a lovely forest. The more I age the more I realize how little I truly know about the nature of things going on around me. (which is actually the normal state of being).... confusion.

One of the most common traits of being an honest human being is, without a doubt... confusion. If the world makes sense to you, it's probably because you haven't learned enough to be confused yet, or, you're lying.

This is absolutely Beautiful. A keepsake that should be wrapped within a frame. The sentiments and the imagery are heartwarming. So pure and loving. Simply Stunning..
