Heavens Rose

Beholding this heuristic flower which grows....

Astonishment amid the midst of the deserts dust

Isolations guise so shunned, this beauty it seems

Emitting an emollient fragrance as such

A nardostachys jatamansi ~

This healing and soothing ointment as rains

Loving cup, of sanctities moments such placid waters

Now rising from the parched soils of once barrenness

As a mastic mist of laudatories measures

Blanket it, with flourishings of precious dew

An inflorescent jasmine

Metamorphing into a prismatic rose

Before these melodious stones which smile....

As they gaze upon this magnificent splendour

Within a world wherein some still question as to how 

Could this ever be?

This renewing of such trodden petals; rousing

And once crushed by the very hands

Which now stand within bewildered wonderment

As they blink their sting rayed eyes....How?

These second chances of a new born life

The Resurrection, of a once lost soul....

A nice write (somewhat vague) that points to somewhat vague info. Is it just a medicine, or did u use it for stimulation?

John, I am in no way a reigious person. But when it comes to roses, I just have to read. And this is no exception to the many other lovely poems on the Soup with them in it. Thank you so much for your always kind words >> James

Out of the dry parched desert of a soul, the most fragrant blossoms may yet appear, John! And so, we are never to despair, never listen to the lies! It ain't over 'til our Master says! Love, Audrey

There are many of us "trodden petals" praying for renewal, John. Love the spiritual quality to this poem and the way you used nature to convey an insightful message. Very well done, my friend. Love, Carolyn
