Be to become

Incredulity and disbelief marked their demeanour
When we spoke of ineffable rapture of unending bliss
We were asked to prove validity of our affirmation 
So we pointed to a blooming rose and said, ‘become this’

As Gertrude Stein famously wrote: "A rose is a rose is a rose." Being and becoming in one breath. Huzzah! :) gw

When we become the answer, we need thereafter no translator

I like how your poem leads to an image of a rose.

Greatest response to cynical ones. I really love the word “ ineffable” I don’t see many using it, you’ve used it beautifully. Always enjoy reading your deep and meaningful poems. This one is no different. That last line is just brilliant
