For the Fulcrum of a Rose Poetry Contest of Unseeking Seeker

__________________________________________________________________________

Line of inquiry: track where lies the fulcrum of the fragrance of a rose, then likewise find within, your soul. By Unseeking Seeker From whence comes the fragrance of a flower? At its fulcrum, the floral organs attach to the stalk, which has poked up out of the earth to sprout the beautiful petals - that sweet-scented face which I adore in the form of the rose. My soul is like the rose. I am planted on this earth, but I need proper nourishment to fulfill my roles. Heaven, please let your sun reign down on me. My soul, like that of a rose, provides no sweet fragrance without enlightenment.

So interesting today I heard an example..if we find a foot in a parking lot we would know it had been attached to a body, and we would also want to search for the body. Even the foot of the whole is wanted and needed..The body does better with the foot. Great write, Lady!
