My Rose of Sharon

Rose of Sharon; Sweet suitor, Holy wind; come blow upon my heart; My heart has drifted let your fragrance flow again Let us sip together the pure wine; that I may feel again your tender embrace that I might be forever at your side; still my hearts cry; my longing. My Loves pain; the thorns, the scars Loves perfect gift! Sweet fragrant Rose of Sharon: Perfect Love, written with loves pure heart, on fleshy tables of my heart. Your heart that bled Love that cried, My Love never to deny; A Love that waits.... for me! My beloved stands without; Arise my heart I say unlock the door, Open, see, the blood stains on the door Let Your Blood wash away my sins of youth, loves exacting toll; her fragrant petals her bed of thorns. I am washed my beloved; Clean, white, like the milk that flows down mountainside like a herd of sheep on Gilead. My heart skips like a lamb in springtime on fields of green; Nourished and loved nurtured forever at Your side; My father, my Mother; My Savior, My Lord, My King, Holy Suitor, Your Bloom, Your fragrance; My sweet Rose Of Sharon.

Thank you Maureen- I haven't been on here as much as I would like due to some new initiatives at the mo and looking after 2 year old grand-daughter who is full on energy and activity.

Gosh, we had a contest here many months ago requiring us to do a poem based on certain chapters in Psalms. I think it was Psalms, and I remember a lot of the imagery I found to use was similar to that presented here. were you here back when we did that contest? It would have fit the criteria splendidly!!

No I didn't see the comp. and I am not sure when I joined. I would have to go back into my history to look- I know I am very recent on here. I wrote this poem in 2005. Thank you for your kind comments Andrea, Love and blessings, Bren : )
