From Dawn's Spirited Breath, See Red, Red Rose

(1.) From Dawn's Spirited Breath, See Red, Red Rose When Summer rose meets dawning's sweetest hush Sun comes to bequeath its dawn bathing rays Red beauty gleaming, rose stills early rush Into man's world shines, another bright day. With red rose petals spreading ever wide Calming thoughts, heavenly blue ocean waves One may from duty or play thus decide No plucking, to rose's truest of beauty save. Within Nature's truth, rests a native song Of wanderings some lost souls have traveled In desperate search for truth to belong Hope, such tapestry, can be unraveled. From Dawn's spirited breath, they see red rose. And wonder why its color, Nature chose. Robert J. Lindley, Sonnet, Rhyme, ( To Gaze In Awe At Red Rose Radiant Colors ) (2.) Red Rose, Sing Me A Sweeter Melody Alas! Flowers winter breath soon must feel Frigid wind, that fierce and dastardly blows Pray I, mildest winter, on knees I kneel Begging for Spring, when fantastic green shows. Red rose, sing me a sweeter melody Of paradise that hold Spring all the year Casting winter's fangs into darkest sea Allaying this man's dreaded icy fears. Shall I, for deepest beauty thus reward A plastic cover to thy life extend For here blasting winter chill 'tis so hard Harsh reality, let us not pretend! Red rose, thy bright song must for a time end. Solemn vow held as, magnificent friend! Robert J. Lindley, Sonnet, Rhyme, ( Red Rose, To Admiring Heart, Thy Truest Song Sing ) (3.) Then Red Rose Blushed Its Petals Brightest Red Songbirds to red rose, thy colors cry out Bestow thy harmonious songs as gifts We sing melodies while flying about Hoping thy red souls it truly uplifts. Red rose, songbirds assuredly you know In my soft flowerbeds I welcome thee In Mother earth's soil I happily grow With pleasure serve her busy honey-bee. Listen Mother Nature so softly said Birds to you, I giveth earth and blue sky To red rose I gift my fine virgin beds None but blinded man would be asking why! Then red rose blushed its petals brightest red Proving to all, truth Mother Nature said! Robert J. Lindley, 11-27-2019 Sonnet, Rhyme, ( Red Rose, Songbirds, Mother, Nature- A Conversation )
