Arbor of Roses
.
;;;;;;;;;Deep in the garden,. old roses have grown;;;;;;;;;;
;;;;;;;;;The fragrance still lingers from times long ago;;;;;;;;;
;;;;;;;;;Follow the flagstones, worn from the years;;;;;;;;;;;
;;;;;;;;;To hear little songbirds, and memories flow;;;;;;;
A timeless old path, weathered and old
meanders beneath it, now feathered in dust
Firmly it's tethered, and warmed by the sun
While ancient love stories will never be gone.
Now tangled, entwined are love stories to tell
of heartbreak that came and of tears to unfold.
Rose petals would fall like the heartbreaks that bled
While winter storms rose with words left unsaid.
Storm clouds passed over then a bittersweet spring
And bright sunny days shone woven lace webs.
A full winter's moon shone sequin heirlooms
while spinning in tune a new morning bloom
The sweet morning dew, ... a love grew
climbing high ..... red roses bloomed,
to reach the sky shines refused to die.
roses and arbor, ..... belonging together.
old friends, longer partners, interwoven
this arbor and vine ..... rosebud entwined..
together today no together for always..
.....
sun
.....
the
.....
until
