Bed of Roses

Magnification is..
The complete essence of a rose garden..
The fragrant scent of roses stimulates the senses..
An effervescent bed of roses..

Classical music playing..
Mozart is alive and well in his music..
Captivated by it's deliciousness..
A heavenly sound of music
Nourishment for one's ears..
I start to reminisce..
Of a different time and place..
Of a much simpler time..
Strolling through the fragrant rose garden..

Myself and a bed of roses..
Love of classical music..
Sends me soaring to a higher vibration..
Holding a lovely assortment of roses..
Vibrant colors..
A bouquet of pure beauty..

Although a rose does have thorns..
Thorns of a rose..
Represent challenges along a path of life..

We all walk this path..
A path of life with trials and tribulations..
We have stumbled and fallen..
Fallen flat on the ground..

If a thorn of a rose pricks a finger..
With anticipation..
With time
It shall heal..

Time always heals wounds..
Walking through the rose garden..
Gazing at the bed of roses..
While holding a bouquet of colorful roses..
Mozart filling my ears with divinity..

I smile as I am ready to take a journey..
I shall walk this path..
When I stumble and fall..
I shall rise above and grow..

I have been to many classical concerts and this piece is vividly reminds me of those beautiful moments when I floated with the wonderful symphonic melodies like Stravinsky's "The Rites of Spring!" So lovely! Well done, my friend - such a pleasure to read this lovely piece! Hugs. Pandita

Mozart! So interesting an association with a rose garden. (I'm probably missing something). Anyway, I'm glad I took a walk through this rose garden! :) gw
