Honey For the Rose Says a Wizened Sage

Honey For The Rose Says A Wizened Sage

I fancy a moment of quietest delight
nothing great, just deeply silent bliss
times like this, my mind takes flight

Day breaks with the softest little glow
crack of dawn I often so dearly miss
the lady that put on last night's show

Pausing next to reflect, life slaps me
why do you so often fail to see this
the kinder, softer man you should be

I reply, spare me the moral outrage
yes, I once stole many a sweet kiss
honey for the rose says a wizened sage

I fancy a moment of quietest delight
nothing great, just deeply silent bliss
times like this, my mind takes flight
